2.5a1 import of .dlls

I've re-built an extension module (as a .dll) using the 2.5a1 release.
Unexpectedly, I'm not able to simply import it (not the way I can when
building it for 2.3). Using imp.load_dynamic() the import succeeds.

>>> import minx     # Implemented in a .dll - fails
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named minx
>>> import imp    # Workaround
>>> import os
>>> minx = imp.load_dynamic('minx', os.getcwd() + '\\minx.dll')
>>>

I couldn't find anything to indicate this is by design in 2.5a1 (I did
read the PEP 328: Absolute and Relative Imports) - am I doing something
wrong?
