Well, I wrote that too soon.

Here is what update-grub puts in /boot/grub
/grub.cfg regarding the Fedora 13 installation:
#######################################################
menuentry "Fedora release 13 (Goddard) (on /dev/mapper/vg1-lv8)" {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd0,msdos5)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set
b40b5b7f-6999-4a12-9d3b-62e0fc892a40
        linux /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 root=/dev/dm-1
}
#######################################################

It is missing the initrd line. Without that line the kernel does not
boot and panics and halts.

I have to put the correct stanza myself in /etc/grub.d/40_custom to get
the correct grub entry which works:
#######################################################
menuentry "Fedora release 13 (on /dev/mapper/vg1-lv8)" {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ext4
        set root='(hd0,msdos5)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set
b40b5b7f-6999-4a12-9d3b-62e0fc892a40
        linux /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/vg1-lv8
ro quiet
        initrd  /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64.img
        boot
}
#######################################################


So there still appears to be some problem somewhere.
