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
