My current theory is that setting MODVERSIONS, somehow, hides the ERROR spew.
Because that could explain your bisect. Linus' commit turns of MODVERSIONS the
hard way. And, naturally, this theory fails if your .configs never had
MODVERSIONS set in the first place.

My config had MODVERSIONS set, yes.

This theory appears to be correct!

It's getting late here so I won't be spending much time on this anymore.
Perhaps you fancy looking into all this now. And, maybe, a new day will bring
me the courage needed to dive into this.

Done for the day here too, will continue prodding tomorrow.
