I was using __import__ because it was easier to write the repro with,
I've changed it to import, it has the same issue.

It works on the main thread (it's what I use on the main thread too)
but the error message is useless. It's just ImportError, could not
import x, and gives no stack trace. Possibly fiddling things to get a
CLR stacktrace might be more useful.

Anyway here's the full code.
