Modules not loaded from /etc/modules-load.d/ after today's upgrade

Hi,

I need load a few kernel modules at boot. They are placed in /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf and /etc/modules-load.d/broadcom-wifi.conf, exactly by the wiki.
They were normally loaded until today, after packages upgrade. No errors during update detected.
Now after system restarts, modules are not loaded and I need load them manually with modprobe. I've doublechecked the module names are correct, no extra spaces or other contents in *.conf files.

Any idea what's happening here ? Is there some workaround like putting modprobe in /etc/rc.local like it did worked before ?

Thanks.

Btw. - I've found a question to the similar topic.

What packages did you upgrade? What is in your journal?

And verify that uname -a and pacman -Qi linux report the same version (in other words, ensure that the kernel that is actually running is the one that has drivers installed)

Installed kernel matches the running kernel - "3.17.6"
systemd-modules-load.service reports status=0/SUCCESS, Active(exited). I can restart the service manually with

systemctl restart systemd-modules-load

, but no errors and modules are not loaded. Again, I can modprobe them so I know they match kernel and are working.
Attempt to peek into guts what exactly this service does leads to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load which is a binary :-(

Any other idea or should I fill a bugreport ?
