They are. Don't use NOAOUT. It's like >when you use NOPERL and ask why perl didn't get updated.

The problems are that the aout libraries are not built and installed in $WORLDTMP before they are used for linking certain lkm tools, and that these lkm tools are built with -aout in CFLAGS, and that the problem is not seen in polluted test environments because stale aout libraries are found in /usr/lib/aout, and that libraries outside of $WORLDTMP are found at all. Not using NOAOUT just arranges for a polluted test environment by installing the aout libraries.
