Possibly related to #362140: Roles are not available if roles are added after module is installed
But I haven't seen this for any other roles I created after installing the module.
Forum Access Module now creates a role called "Forum Moderator" and this is the one that's not showing up on the roles config page.

For now, as a workaround (close to going live so... gotta rush), created a new role. I can verify that the new role shows up just fine on the Defaults tab. But the one generated by Forum Access doesn't show. Might be a Forum Access bug, though that role seems to behave normally everywhere else (so far).

Yes this is a duplicate of #362140: Roles are not available if roles are added after module is installed.

As is mentioned there, BF uses the user api to know when a role is created and deleted. Modules need to run their role through drupal_execute() to let other modules react to the action instead of going directly to the database.
