Try putting the hosts allow line in the modules definition; the man page
does say:
    You may also include any module parameters in the global  part  of  the
    config  file in which case the supplied value will override the default
    for that parameter.
However maybe there's some bug :-)

BTW: you don't mention what version you're using.
