modutils 2.1.121 breaking autoloading of 2.0.x modules?

While I have no concerns about this on one of my home machines, I'm finding
myself very wary of upgrading another to 2.2.0pre kernels because of this
problem. It seems that modutils 2.1.121 did something that keeps the modules
from autoloading. I noticed this first when GPM failed to start and then I
couldn't dial-up to my ISP because the serial port module hadn't loaded. I
tried a complete kernel rebuild of 2.0.36 to no avail and decided to "give
up" and go with 2.2.0pre and above.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this glitch.
