I realised today that this behaviour is actually the case for any execution of a module inside a package with -m (i.e. any __init__ modules execute before sys.argv and __main__ are fully configured). As I recall, I used a bit of a hack to get main.c to implement -m correctly by piggybacking on the existing -c semantics. I'll find the hack and replace it with some proper '-c' or '-m' logic.
