Wow, I didn't realize that's how logging worked.  My understanding was a module should just get a logger and log messages, and if the application didn't do any setup beforehand, the first logging call would cause messages to be written to stdout (or stderr) in a default format.  In fact, I thought that I had observed that behavior in the past, but I just tested it and you are right, it complains about not having a handler.  

This definitely seems like a logging bug to me.  IMO the only thing a module should need to do is call getlogger with its qualified name and log messages.
