after upgrade to F19 GRUB2 comes up with "error: diskfilter writes are
not supported" and waits some seconds to press a key and thanks god
boots after that automatically to not break wakeup-on-lan (see also
attachment)

but what is this nonsense?

oh, and remove the line "insmod diskfilter" from "grub.cfg" does not
change anything

I'm seeing the same error. I found the message mysterious, so I took a look at 
the code and discovered the following:
- "diskfilter" is GRUB's implementation detail for working with LVM and MD RAID
  devices.
- Writing to these kinds of devices is not implemented in GRUB.
- The error may have always been there, but
  0085-grub-core-disk-diskfilter.c-grub_diskfilter_write-Ca.patch made it more
  visible.
- The reason GRUB is trying to write to the device could be it's following
  the "save_env" commands in the config file.

interesting - why does GRUB try to write anything?
it has not to touch any FS at boot

GRUB2 is such a large step backwards because it is more or less it's own
operating system with the most ugly configuration one could design while
grub-legacy was a boot-manager and nothing else

finally we end in 3 full operating systems

* grub
* dracut
* linux

but it did not halt boot for some seconds with a useless error message
and "press any key to continue" as well it did not mess up with
submenues and whatever nor did it freeze the machine while edit the
kernel line which happens with GRUB2 way too often if you need to edit
it

My comment #5 was just to show that the assertion "it has not to touch any FS 
at boot" is false and that GRUB Legacy was no different in this regard.
I already commented on the increased visibility of the error, in comment #2.

For Fedora 20 in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false"

makes the difference (after grub2-mkconfig)

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
