Your upgrade is not successful:

error: 'grub4dos-0.4.6a_20130521-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': could not find or read package

Thanks, after review the --debug log, I know it is not backup because the original grub/menu.lst in old package with the same md5 with /grub/menu.lst. So, pacman treat it is not modified by me. And copy the new menu.lst from new package.

Please close this bug. It is not a bug, it is a feature.
