In python imports are relative by default, so "import sage" does not mean what you think. I think long ago I hacked around this problem for just typing "sage" to start sage, by making it change to a different directory during startup. (I vaguely recall doing that specifically to get Sage to work on Cygwin, actually.) So I think the above should be considered a bug, and you should definitely report it to trac. Probably the fix is to change the directory during part of Sage startup, to thwart Python's relative import system.
