I agree those are the only reasonable solutions. I'd rather see things fixed, but I don't know how much time Phillip has to work on it. I'll be working on the straigtening out the xmlcore issue tonight/tomorrow.

I'm testing a semi-final version of the fix now. It's minimally intrusive in that it only adds an "imp.NullImporter" type to replace the "False" value, and it keeps "None" to mean that the built-in import machinery should be used.
