I tend to think of fdconfig.sys as an alternative to config.sys if you want to dual boot multiple DOSes from C: -- for instance Windows 98 and FreeDOS on the same hard disk partition. DRDOS can do the same with dconfig.sys. Processing both defeats this purpose. However the primary configuration file is config.sys. If the installer names it fdconfig.sys even on a non-dual-DOS-boot system then IMHO that should be corrected (for the reasons you mention).
