Well, I did have the wrong syntax (though it looks like sysinstall
picked up install.cfg as the file to parse anyway, since it dropped me
into the options editor even with my bad syntax.)  This didn't solve
the problem, however.

The most concise definition of the problem I can state is that when
using an external config file to load the options editor, some of the
options aren't editable as they are when using sysinstall without
loadConfig.
