Jim Fulton's example in that tracker issue shows that with a bit of creativity you can provoke this behaviour without using a from-style import. Torsten Bronger later brought up the same issue that Fredrik did - it prevents some kinds of explicit relative import that look like they should be fine.

I haven't been following this very closely, but if there's something that's making absolute and relative imports behave differently, I think it should be fixed. The only difference between an absolute and relative import of the same module should be the way you specify the module.
