I enabled it, and monitor mode now works. Question: is this 'library of common routines used by IEEEU802.11 wireless LAN drivers' indeed necessary for monitor mode to function properly? If so, shouldn't b43 select it by default, as per the documentation that 'Drivers should select this themselves if needed'?
