Your example is incomplete.

    >>> try:
    ...     empty_mod = __import__(some_empty_module)
    ... except ImportError:
    ...     print "test"
    ...     raise
    ...
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 2, in ?
    NameError: name 'some_empty_module' is not defined

Can you post a minimal, complete example that shows the behaviour?
