Research direction

Start by comparing the reported behavior with issue #4427 and reproduce the mismatch between sys.modules['sys'] and import('sys') in MicroPython. Trace the runtime handling of import and sys.modules, then confirm that both references identify the same sys module and add or update regression coverage if the relevant test location is found.
