We're assuming he doesn't remember being a god. But what if he just doesn't care? This is Bun-Bun we're talking about, and by every indication, he acts almost exactly the same in past-Mohkadun as he does in the present, or did in Timeless Space. If anything, the younger Timeless Space version of Bun-Bun seemed more careless and arrogant, less calculating, if I'm remembering the story right. Kind of like a god from Mohkadun would act.
Maybe being a god is simply inconsequential to him, and always was. But I do think his concussion scrambled more than just his memories of Timeless Space. He remembers the Time Bubbles, he remembers his feud with Santa, but I'd be willing to bet he'd have no clue whatsoever who Rana or Dunaloa were. After all, his older self didn't seem to know who Uncle Time was in Timeless Space either, and if he completely remembered Mohkadun, he surely would.
This was my assumption... lets not forget that whenever the prior Santa/Deus Ex Ovum conflict happened, it must have been 5-7,000 years after Mokohdun. Bun Bun had plenty of time to adjust to life as a fallen god, even if whatever conflict precipitated his exile seems to have involved other gods (now holidays) as well. Every time we have seen him fully in possession of his powers (As Lord Bun Bun Eater of Holidays, or Lord Sluggy of Mokuhdun), he took it pretty casually, almost as an annoyance beyond what he needed to preserve his own comforts. In some ways, being a feared Pirate Captain may have been more fun for him whether or not he knew his full past in the past Timeless Space version before his auto-assault and battery (my that was a fun mouthful).
