Well, this does sound unsatisfactory.  I suppose one answer would be to
load the module in all backends, in case the user wants to look at the
value.  But that would be wasteful.  Maybe we should have a warning
about it in the docs -- tell people to LOAD the library if they want to
examine the configuration?
