Purging __file__ of relative references isn't a problem - they're *supposed* to 
always be absolute. The import.c version just stuffs it up sometimes (mainly 
due to the way it handles the empty string in the path).

IOW, while the importlib behaviour *is* different from the old behaviour, it's 
really a long overdue fix rather than a defect.
(You can still induce weirdness by adding paths involving '.' or '..' to 
sys.path, but that's more a case of "don't do that". We add the empty string 
ourselves, so we should handle it more cleanly than we do in import.c)
