Hmm, that section is there on purpose, but the body certainly shouldn't
be empty.

This sounds like your /etc/sysconfig/kernel (INITRD_MODULES) isn't set up
properly. But otoh I assume other kernels get their initrd generated
correctly. Maybe you missed some detail of how mkinitrd needs to be
invoked, or what prerequisites it has? That would also explain why that
section above as empty.
