Rob Bairos added the comment:

However, if it fails __import()__  it doesn't get to the sys.modules[] call 
anyways.

The only case affected by this are:

  PASS the __import()__ call, 
  then FAIL the sys.modules[] lookup afterwards.

Why will that effect anything currently out there?

As it stands now, it suppresses development of some types of dynamic 
hierarchies of modules such as we've implemented, that don't register 
themselves in sys.modules[]
