summary:
  IDLE was relying on implicit relative imports which have gone away in
Python 3.3 thanks to importlib finishing the work in PEP 328 that
accidently got carried forward.

I don't know if this patch will have any affect on this issue, but implicit relative imports are (were;-) a possible cause of intermittent problems.
