It implements the module, but it doesn't implement the nodes
since it doesn't express the feature.  IMHO this is a tool
bug and/or an errata, since otherwise one has to carry features
forward, repeating the if-feature using the original modules
prefix:feature-name on every augment of feature-based nodes.
