Good sleuthing Nick! It's clearly the same bug that Fredrik found. I tried to test if using Brett' importlib has the same problem, but it can import neither p.a nor p.b, so that's not helpful as to sorting out the import semantics. I believe that at some point many of the details of importlib should be seen as the reference documentation for the darkest corners of import semantics. But it seems we aren't there yet.
