You did not give any examples.  Are these options that are neither
autoloaded nor preloaded?  A magic autoload cookie should, I believe,
write a line of the form:

(custom-autoload (quote show-paren-mode) "paren")

in loaddefs.el.  So I believe that it should suffice to add that
custom-load-symbol call back and put in ###autoload's for all options
for which it fails to work.
