This raised my eyebrow somewhat, until I realized that it is OK because module_list prepared by the caller has only one of the unmerged entries for the same path to avoid duplicates.

Interesting.
I am wondering if this check should go to module_list_compute().

Doesn't this invalidate displaypath, when pp->recursive_prefix is in effect? It still seems to be used to create an error message just a few lines below...
