Since when is this the case (rough figure would be enough if someone knows
it without looking it up)?

It is definitely so from the 5.x times, but I highly suspect that this was

Thanks for the info.

the feature of 'new' modules from the beginning.

I do not remember this behavior in 3.0. I remember cases where a module didn't had a dependency and manually loading the dependency before was enough. Memories alter over time, so I may be wrong... I wouldn't be surprised if this behavior was introduced more in the timeframe around amd64 or the reworking of module loading a while after amd64 (may this is what you refer to as "new modules").
