 I have a partitioned USB flash drive with wee and one active partition. 
 Directory structure:
  /boot/grub/menu.lst
  /boot/grub.exe
  /boot/grldr

configuration 1: 
AMD Phenom II 965 X4
GigaByte AMD 770 GA-MA770T-UD3

configuration 2:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
MSI K9AGM2 (MS-7327)

configuration 3:
Some Asus motherboards with AMD or Intel processors

config for wee:
find --set-root /boot/grub.exe 
/boot/grub.exe --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst

result conf 3 or qemu : Grub runs built-in config instead of use 
/boot/grub/menu.lst

result conf 1,2: grub will hang
-------------------------------------
config for wee:
root (hd0,0)
/boot/grub.exe --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst

result conf 3 or qemu : it works
result conf 1,2: commands "find", "map --mem ..... " don't work correctly

Grldr works fine on all configuration.

Sorry for my bad enlish :)

I just have tested wee-2011-06-27 with configuration 2 and grub4dos 0.4.5c.
config:

find --set-root /boot/grub.exe 
/boot/grub.exe --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst

result
grub ran built-in config and didn't hang.

I suppose wee doesn't pass kernel parameters to grub.exe

I understood my fault: the second parameter is initrd. The right config:

root (hd0,0)
/boot/grub.exe "" --config-file=/boot/grub/menu.lst

Finally it turns out a bug related to loading grub.exe. It should have been 
solved since 2013-08-28.

Issue can be closed now.
