I have a computer where the graphical GRUB menu does not display
correctly (it's looks "scrambled").

So, my bootloader configuration looks like this:

(bootloader (grub-configuration (target "/dev/sda")
                                (terminal-outputs '(console))))

It's using an old style of the interface, but you should be able to
adapt it to use the console-mode GRUB menu. I recommend trying it.
