I did before I posted.  grub-mkconfig seems to have been designed around
the (false) assumption that one would only ever want a single terminal
interface rather than the option to choose at boot time, and thus only
allows either console or serial but not both.

I believe GRUB_TIMEOUT has nothing to do with the --timeout option of
the terminal module.
