In the past week I noticed various ROSE bugs including non-atomic
manipulation of variables which may explain this and other issues.  Some
may be hard to trigger but ROSE (and probably AX.25 and NETROM) are still
quite full of bugs.

I never noticed that one - I tend to build my AX.25 test kernels with all
protocols and drivers built in most of the time.

Certain other kernel modules - IPv4 and IPv6 come to mind - cannot be
unloaded either.  It was deemed to much work for too little gain to make
that work.  I'm not sure if ROSE belongs into that group?  Probably not.
