What is the subject line of this message? I sadly do not read all

grub_error (FOO, "bar" "baz");
No operator or separator between strings?

Can you be more specific? This looks correct to me...

I think in this case, there will be many other problems. I think the 
best thing in this case will be, as you suggest, to set the definition 
to NULL and have all terminfo functions return their strings unmodified.

The only consequence to this I can think of is loss of menu support on 
terminals which depend on terminfo (serial), and should be a rare case 
even there.
