No magic involved. Consider the sequence you were doing:
1) make conf
1a) you select 1.6.1, i forgot to add a default for this version ->
    empty BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_CONFIG
1b) you add the line above.
1c) re-conf. A default (empty string) is present, so no default is set

I suggest you
svn up
sed -i -e "/BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_CONFIG/d"
make oldconfig

HTH,
