That might have another config?
d-i uses the kernel and modules from a regular kernel package, only divided between multiple packages to reduce memory and network usage. So this seems to be a regression between 2.6.32-15 (used in the installer) and 2.6.32-20 (current version in testing on 25th August, and presumably what it installed). Unfortunately I can't see any changes between these versions which might be responsible. Could you try testing the intermediate versions, which should still be available from <http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/linux-image-2.6.32-5-486/>?
