As far as I know, choosing any menu item besides the default has
alway required you to hit return. When you start navaging the menu,
it turns off the timeout. From the Grub info page:

 -- Command: timeout sec
     Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the
     default entry (normally the first entry defined).
