Hm, replacing the return with a random string, this leads to another crash:

ValueError: path must be None or list of paths to look for modules in
The reason is that `__getattr__` is also triggered when a special attribute is
looked up. I am not sure what to do with this. This is a bit inconsistent with
how classes behave, where e.g. `__len__` is never searched on an instance. But
modules are special in many other ways, so maybe we can just fix pydoc (and
other tools like inspect) to expect some ill-typed values in special module
attributes and fail gracefully?
