I doubt that this is really the problem, at least, I can't 
imagine why it would be so. I more suspect a problem with 
modtimes not being preserved and/or different timezones 
(combined with the way GUSI attempts to convert MacOS's 
localtime-based timestamps to unix's GMT-based timezones). But 
if it indeed has to do with a newer file that is totally 
unrelated to the module being imported then there's a bug in the 
Mac import code somewhere.

Could you try running with "trace import" and "also show failed 
attempts"? Not sure whether this'll give more information but 
it's worth a try.
