scope errors lie about what modules are imported

Here's Test.hs:

module Test where

And here's a ghci session:

% ghci Test.hs
GHCi, version 8.4.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
*Test> Test.foo

<interactive>:1:1: error:
    Not in scope: ‘Test.foo’
    No module named ‘Test’ is imported.

That "No module named ‘Test’ is imported." part seems blatantly wrong (and persists even if I explicitly import Test rather than using the implicit loading of the module).
