No it isn't a bug. It is a result of first steps towards fixing a whole
lot of problems with the module loading system in mod_python.
See the following link for a list of known issues in mod_python < 3.2.

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-003.html

In 3.2, mod_python.publisher no longer uses the standard Python
module importing system as a result of the changes made so far.

You can get the same result as what you want by using:

   import os
   name = os.path.splitext(os.path.split(__file__)[1])[0]

This will work for mod_python < 3.2 as well.
