Yes, I've discovered this too (though not on arm).
I believe it's the change to kmod that has affected this. The modprobe command now ignores the blacklist unless you specify the -b option, and rc.* files that load a module haven't been changed to run "modprobe -b" rather than "modprobe"
I noticed it when I was trying to blacklist the alsa-oss modules which are loaded from rc.alsa.
I was going to drop Pat a note about it, but was giving the poor chap time to recover after the release.

Blacklisting modules works for me on Slackware64 14.0. For example I blacklisted joydev, because my M$ keyboard is detected as a joystick because it has some sliders.
Recent versions of udev run "modprobe -b" to load modules. Slackware's rc files don't. If udev loads the module then blacklisting will work. If it is loaded by an rc file then it wont.
