Nick: From what I've checked, it jumps in case the module is already imported. 
The problem is that the original implementation is quite naive, and it's trying 
to import the module before looking for it in `sys.modules` - So if the module 
with a conflicting name is in PYTHONPATH and has higher priority, it'd be 
imported instead of the correct one. And then, as the module is imported, it'd 
be available in `sys.modules`.
