Yep, I had a similar idea... I took the .config and used it with menugo on a different machine to get the IPSEC config in.
The problem appears to be after the IPSEC changes are applied to .config as menuconfig (or menugo for that matter) starts. Once in menuconfig the .config reverts back to its previous state, sans IPSEC config - no IPSEC config options appear in "networking--->". I double checked as per your instructions and the result is the same.
Taking a wildly uniformed guess, I'd say that the kernel "make ***config" is stripping out the IPSEC config params, and assuming that Freeswan links into this make to absorb the IPSEC configs, that this link between kernel make and FS make is not being applied post uninstall_freeswan.
Although I've tried reextracting either of both the kernel sources and Freeswan and rebuilding from scrath, I'm going to scrub them both and try building from pristine source.
Thanks Sam
BTW, no errors in out.kpatch
