Stefan Behnel <sco...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

It turns out that it wasn't all that hard to work around. Calling __import__ 
twice seems to do the trick. It's more overhead, but if people want speed, they 
can just be explicit about what kind of import they actually mean.

So I wouldn't mind considering this an accidental left-over, and given that 
this behaviour has officially been removed for source code imports in 3.0 and 
taken out of documentation since then, it should be enough to consider its 
(partial) support in __import__ a bug and document it as being fixed in 3.3.
