-i option requires named module

I have the following layout:

 ./Foo.hs
 ./test/Bar.hs

both empty files.

I can run ghci successfully as follows:

  >ghci Foo
  >ghci test/Bar
  >ghci -itest Foo

but

  >ghci -itest Bar
  File name does not match module name:
    Saw: ‘Main’
    Expected: ‘Bar’

The same problem occurs when ghci is replaced with ghc.

Basically, ghc/ghci is forcing modules found via -i to have a named module in them. My understanding is that ghci -itest Bar is equivalent to ghci test/Bar, so the behavior should be the same as well.
