If you only use one directory, you don't even need the { }
so this definately should work:

  for i in /usr/share/images/grub/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do

If you modify that script and you know if your image is png or tga then
you even can do the same with the {png,tga}

According to bash's man page this seems to be with intent.
