Ah, yes, I see what you mean - because runpy ignores the sys.modules cache (by 
design), it won't see the precached module instance placed there by the 
bootstrap code.

We actually *could* make this work on our end: if we find an existing module in 
sys.modules, derive the file to be executed from the __file__ attribute of that 
module rather than searching the whole path again.
