} But this only runs if configure or config.status is run

Aha.  The actual problem is that this *isn't* done if config.status is
run -- it's only done if *configure* is run, which running config.status
only sometimes causes to happen.  In most cases config.status regenerates
only those files that result from processing a .in.

Consider the following patch; configure writes config.modules.sh and also
arranges that config.status will source it, and then sources it.  This has
the added benefit that one can run config.modules.sh at any time to change
the module configuration, rather than having to re-run a full configure.
