Comment (by Anders Hovmöller):
This bug is not fixed. I'm not totally sure how to actually trigger it
though, but I'm trying to help someone with this issue and it's not going
well!
There's a bunch of people with this problem too:

command-collectstatic
I can fake trigger this by adding `import foo` inside
`ManagementUtility.execute`:
{{{
try:
import foo
settings.INSTALLED_APPS
except ImproperlyConfigured as exc:
self.settings_exception = exc
except ImportError as exc:
self.settings_exception = exc
}}}
Now I get the silent failure.
