However my original question still stands, can/should we consider a
common configuration of software that goes from being secure to
insecure to be worthy of a CVE? A lot of things that used to be common
practice (like shipping every service/server enabled, all accounts
active, all access enabled, anonymous uploads allowed, etc.) are now
seen as security vulnerabilities/exposures.

We definitely do.  A recent example is CVE-2012-4446.
