The issue comes not from having modules inside the namespace package
(which is fine:  the __path__ of namespacee packages is extended to
include all eggs which use it).  Rather, the problem is having a
non-empty __init__.py in a namespace package (specifically, one which
does anything else than declare that it is a namespace).  The problem
arises because only one of the __init__.py files will be imported (the
first one found).
