Comment (by jaspain):

 As shown in the `bindctl` session output below, this problem does still
 exist in `bind10-devel-20120329` and is more general than suggested by the
 above. It appears that most or all of the Boss components have
 configuration objects named `Boss/components/b10-<module>/params` and that
 these are all of type `list`. None of these can be displayed by `config
 show all`. The error message `Error: Boss/components/b10-<module>/params
 not found` is produced. The commands `config show all
 Boss/components/b10-<module>` and `config show
 Boss/components/b10-<module>/params` also fail with the same error. Note
 that in my installation the varioius `bind10` modules are running as user
 `bind`. I have not yet tested this running them as `root`. I started this
 test using a clean installation of `bind10-devel-20120329` with no
 configuration changes made beforehand.
