This means that Lirc will only pick the right hardware.conf if the module was manually loaded before lirc is start. This can't be automated. So, indeed, add lirc_rpi to your /etc/modules and make sure the module is loaded before lirc starts. Here it is (beta 1.1).

I didn't previously have to add lirc_rpi to /etc/modules so what changed?

No worries, I will add module manually.

Seems you could poll pin 18 on GPIO to see if a receiver is connected with a simple targeted C application.
