We need to ensure that as soon as a module file is compiled, it's also
explicitly loaded before anything else is compiled (which might import
it), otherwise that compilation will import the "degenerate" version of
the module that results from compiling but not loading it.

But that's really just my shallow high-level understanding of the bug,
and could be way off.  If you have any insights on what's really going
on, that would be greatly appreciated. :-)
