It probably checks if the fuse module is loaded and loads it if
missing. Since fuse is built-in the module is not loaded (yes, this is
stupid but it isn't a module so it isn't listed as module) and the test
fails.

It should test for fuse in /proc/filesystems or /sys/fs/fuse instead of
looking for the module if Nikolaus is really right.
