The only way I can think for this to happen is if your source tree was
inconsistent (i.e. not completely updated), or you updated your
sources after you did the installworld, and the kernel depends on the
newer version of config than the one you have built (in this case the
'safe' buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel method you used to begin
with should still work).
