--- Comment #1 from Walter Bright <bugzilla at digitalmars.com> ---
The purpose for it being overridden is so that one can temporarily "swap in" an
alternate version of a source file from another directory. This is very useful
in debugging thinks like Phobos. It's a feature not a bug.

I plan to fix dmd so that its imports match its file structure, for the reasons
you mentioned.

Anyhow, this is working as designed, and is a feature.
