Looks like a feature, not a bug.

I like the new design, I thought the initial menuconfig's were a first
step but the UI was grossly inconsistent.

However, I would like to see some sort of (Y/N/M) indication on each
item saying if it is available as a module. It's disconcerting to
hit 'm' on an item and still be presented with (*). I think the
(*) should be replaced with (Y) to be consistent.

Something like:

( ) [YN ] Something w/o module support
( ) [YNM] Something with module support
(Y) [YNM] A compiled-in item
(M) [YNM] A module item
