I tried most of these, but failed. Essentially, the attempt to load the
package failed. Please feel free to take my patch as a start and try if you
have more luck.
One thing to consider is that chkconfigure.ltx is not a usual LaTeX document.
It does not have a preamble and a body (i.e., no \documentclass and
\begin{document}). AFAIU, \@onlypreamble gets activated by \documentclass and
deactivated by \begin{document}. Here's a good explanation of how this all
works:
