Yes. Release notes document tells about it briefly:

    5.1.11. GRUB no longer runs os-prober by default

    For a long time, grub has used the os-prober package to detect other
    operating systems installed on a computer so that it can add them to
    the boot menu. Unfortunately, that can be problematic in certain
    cases (e.g. where guest virtual machines are running), so this has
    now been disabled by default in the latest upstream release.
