I tried to reproduce this with no luck:
$ mv hugh .config
$ make
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/i386/Kconfig

* Restart config...

Power Management Debug Support (PM_DEBUG) [N/y/?] n
Suspend to RAM and standby (SUSPEND) [Y/n/?] (NEW) n <= I selected
'n'
Hibernation (aka 'suspend to disk') (HIBERNATION) [N/y/?] (NEW) n <= I selected
'n'

$ grep HOTPLUG_CPU .config
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set
If you let kbuild do a silentoldconfig then I expect
it to be set due to SUSPEND being set.
If you can still reproduce it could you then explan the
exect stepts to do so.
PS. I used latest -linus as of yesterday.
