I found a question from Jack Jansen about it in one of the threads, but no real answer that I saw. However, PEP 3100 (the general Py3k TO-DO list) includes a line item to get rid of "from ... import *" at function level because of the merry hell it plays with the local variable optimisations. It's possible the module level version also got clobbered when this was implemented.
