Sounds very similar to the problem I had. Well, identical actually.
It was fixed, as someone else suggested, by replacing the
/usr/lib/mol/nvram/nvram.nw file.
If you have an nvram.nw.rpmsave then try using that, other than that
I've attached mine. (I had to use the one sent to me, it worked
perfectly).
So install Mol 0.52 again and replace that (don't forget to re-do your
/etc/molrc too).

This worked ok for me when probing the current settings - there was a
bug in 0.51 though, so perhaps if you go to 0.52 it will be fine.....
