Yes, probably. Want to open an issue about it at https://golang.org/issue ? Technically, from the language perspective, I think the current implementation forbids literally `import "main"`. It permits importing a package whose package name is "main", as long as a different path is used to import it. The go tool may impose other restrictions--offhand I don't recall--but those restrictions, if any, don't necessarily belong in the language spec.
