No I'm not, two unrelated sealerts (gnome-session-check-accel,
/bin/mailx). I know there's a systemd unit (or appears to be) to load
kernel modules, I was wondering if this was responsible for attempting
to load these with the wrong context.

Interesting, thanks.
If anyone else encounters this or a similar issue it was caused by a
broken udev rule. To work around this bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753648 I had the following
rule, but with a spurious newline:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="rt2500pci",
KERNEL=="wlan*",
RUN="/sbin/iw $name set power_save off"
rather than
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="rt2500pci",
KERNEL=="wlan*", RUN="/sbin/iw $name set power_save off"
