No, that's the only place it comes from.  If you're still seeing it,
then you haven't properly reinstalled the rebuilt version, somehow.
Perhaps you didn't run grub-install, or perhaps you ran it with the
wrong destination.

It's called as follows:

  grub_setcolorstate (GRUB_TERM_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT);
  grub_printf ("Welcome to GRUB!\n\n");
  grub_setcolorstate (GRUB_TERM_COLOR_STANDARD);

The grub_setcolorstate calls are what causes the message to be printed
in inverse video.
