Description

If you include code like this:

                module = importlib.import_module(module_name)

which dynamically loads the module. I suspect mint is currently just following the imports down from the top level function, which won't catch dynamically loaded modules.

Research direction

Start by tracing Mint's Python import discovery from the importlib.import_module(module_name) entry point. Done means dynamically loaded modules are no longer removed, with a regression test demonstrating that behavior.
