Brett Cannon added the comment:

It's a question of whether you want the error that your .pyc files have somehow 
ended up in a bad state to pass silently or you should know you that something 
on your system is corrupting .pyc files (hence why the EOFError has been 
allowed to propagate).

Making corrupt .pyc files pass silently would be a change in semantics and 
practice, so we need to think through the ramifications. At worst we would need 
to raise a warning that such a thing happened, if not keep the current 
semantics.
