No, and honestly, I don't see that as an issue ;-) Old configs with new
kernels will always have issues if a new dependency is created. In other
words, that's a WONTFIX bug.

make localmodconfig is to disable only the configs not needed for the
loaded modules. If a required config was not in the original .config,
then that's out of scope for localmodconfig. But the bug you reported
was, localmodconfig was disabling a required config that was in the
original .config.
