No.  A few of the tests have to be skipped if you try to run them as a side
effect of importing something else, and test_threaded_import is one of
those.  As the comment at the top of test/testall.py says,

# Backward compatibility -- you should use regrtest instead of this module.

Here are two other ways of running test_threaded_import, and these should
work for you:

C:\Python22>python lib/test/test_threaded_import.py
Trying 20 threads ... OK.
Trying 50 threads ... OK.
Trying 20 threads ... OK.
Trying 50 threads ... OK.
Trying 20 threads ... OK.
Trying 50 threads ... OK.

C:\Python22>python lib/test/regrtest.py test_threaded_import
test_threaded_import
1 test OK.

C:\Python22>

The *intended* way to run the full test suite is via

python lib/test/regrtest.py
