[BusyBox] strange problem with BBinit and root=

I have the init =~ /linuxrc feature enabled in busybox.
#define BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC
Busybox v0.60.3 bails out showing usage info when I try to call /linuxrc
as init -- SOMETIMES!
The following kernel args work(ie: busybox calls /linuxrc): 'ip=dhcp'.
These args do not work: 'ip=dhcp root=/dev/ram0'.
These args work: 'ip=dhcp root=/dev/rd/0' (with devfs).
These args work: 'ip=dhcp root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc'
For some reason, when I pass 'root=/dev/ram0', it behaves as if the
BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC was turned off. This wouldn't be such a big deal,
but i need to pass init=/bin/bash (for instance) for testing.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
