Exactly as Felix says:

Because of this bug, I was not able to install Fedora 24 using the normal
anaconda graphical installer (no 'nomodeset' parameter present, as is correct).

Instead, I had to use a special troubleshooting setup that applies the
'nomodeset' paramenter in order to be able to install at all.

Once I got the system installed, I noticed that this troubleshooting setting
had been incorporated into the grub kernel boot line.

Because the boot process was rather wonky (flashing, artefacts, etc), I wanted
to return to the standard setting, so I manually edited the menu to remove the
'nomodeset' parameter—and this is how I discovered this bug.

Putting things the way you insist they are supposed to be (and the way they
have been in the past, which is why I wanted to return to the old
tried-and-true setting), revealed this bug.
