[Distutils] Conflict between egg and standard package with same namespace

[Andreas Jung]

In my setup I have a zopyx.slimp egg inside site-package and a package
zopyx.txng3. With this setup I can not longer import files from the 
zopyx.txng3 package.

ajung at galactica:~> ls /opt/python-2.4.3/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zopyx*
/opt/python-2.4.3/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zopyx.slimp-0.2.0-py2.4.egg

/opt/python-2.4.3/lib/python2.4/site-packages/zopyx:
__init__.py  __init__.pyc  txng3

ajung at galactica:~> python2.4
Python 2.4.4 (#4, Oct 19 2006, 21:09:46)
[GCC 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import zopyx.txng3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named txng3
>>> import zopyx.slimp
>>>

After removing the egg it is possible to  import zopyx.txng3  again.
Is this a bug or setuptools misconception?
