I was thinking about this too - but I did not find anything unusual...
path[boot]=/lib/modules/boot
path[fs]=/lib/modules/2.4.0-test6-pre1-smp/fs
path[net]=/lib/modules/2.4.0-test6-pre1-smp/net
path[scsi]=/lib/modules/2.4.0-test6-pre1-smp/scsi
...
path[ide]=/lib/modules/ide
path[ieee1394]=/lib/modules/ieee1394
path[video]=/lib/modules/2.4.0-test6-pre1-smp
path[misc]=/lib/modules/extra
Well, now I see it... path[video]=... comes from very old times
when modprobe did not search /video, and 'video' was appended
automagically in path[] entries. Sorry for confusion,
it was very old configuration mistake revealed by 'build' symlink :-(
