Because the modules are handled different, and it does not matter at
all - all relevant code is in /linuxrc and handled by our own. Do
*not* mix userspace and initrd parts!

Take a look at the initrd file minirt26.gz (/modules/unionfs.ko),
seems you are looking at the wrong place (initrd vs. userspace).

Please be more verbose on the "unstable" for partimage. What kind of
problems did you consider?
