You're right: I hadn't noticed, but my 'grubenv' file contains a
"recordfail=1" line. Also, as you state, there is no time-out on the
GRUB menu.
As a further experiment, I removed the "recordfail" lines on the menu
entries that included them, since I assumed that these were the commands
that were responsible for updating the 'grubenv' file. And, indeed, the
"recordfail=1" line no longer shows up after reboot. Furthermore, the
countdown on the GRUB menu remains.
Perhaps I should try and develop my own GRUB install scripts; as it
stands, the GRUB configuration file is far more complicated than what I
need.

Title:
[Grubenv] error: malformed file, press any key to continue
Status in GRand Unified Bootloader:
Unknown
Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04
Since the upgrade, when I boot up, the process stops and the normal
grub screen is replaced after a short while by a message saying
"error: malformed file, press any key to continue"
Pressing a key allows booting to continue.
Someone else who experienced this found that the problem went away
after having re-installed grub. I tried this but this did not resolve
the problem for me.
synaptic reports the grub package as 2.02~beta2-9
