The issue is not present in grub2-2.02~beta2-19 (latest version for 15.04 Vivid)
Using one machine with test kernels, update-grub outputs:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.0-custom
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.17.0-custom
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.17.0-rc1-custom
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.17.0-rc1-custom
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-29-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-29-generic
…

and grub2 lists 3.17.0-custom as the default kernel, not 3.17.0-rc1-custom.

Based on the changelog, this was probably fixed in grub2-2.00-20:

I will mark this as Incomplete as suggested by the canned responses: "13.10 reached EOL on 17 July 2014…Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test."
