I'd really like to see a fix that works with loadTestsFromNames - generating failing tests, for instance, and the failing tests having the full import error string in them. This doesn't preclude raising ImportError from loadTestFromName, and in fact I'd encourage that as a step towards the aforementioned loadTestsFromNames change.
It is a change with the existing misguided behaviour; sometimes thats better to do than preserving compat; as you say a new API might be best overall though. I'd go with a keyword arg rather than a new function, I think.
