Standard (pre-4) behaviour was take module from --module-prefix= and put into initrd's /lib/modules, but now it create full source path inside initrd root.
Sorry, but I don't understand this bug report. What's the problem you are reporting? --module-prefix sets INSTALL_MOD_PATH. And the usage of INSTALL_MOD_PATH in append_modules() and compile_modules() hasn't changed.
I run genkernel (inside ebuild) with --module-prefix=/var/tmp/portage/.../work/build (where exists /lib/modules/...). Before v4 (for many years) genkernel put this modules into root (/lib/modules), now - full path "/var/tmp/portage/...". PS As I repack and rework produced cpio, so I add "mv ..." into my script and locally problem solved for me, but there are not legacy behaviour.
