Yes, I know, something seems strange here.

Just to be sure, I disabled iptables completely and rebooted:
(Complete config.gz is attached.)

This gives me the same error upon modprobe ipchains.

If I disable CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK, I get unresolved symbols:
ipchains: Unknown symbol ip_ct_log_invalid

(Is that combination supposed to work?)

lsmod (ALSA snipped):
