That's actually how it always worked.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/scaling_available_governors

likely only lists 'performance' and 'schedutil'.
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/ lists several more governors 
and when you modprobe them, they get added to 'scaling_available_governors'.
And also to `cpupower frequency-info` -> 'available cpufreq governors'.

So if you can verify whether it works with 'modprobe' then this is not a bug.
