Yes, I'm seeing this behavior.  Ugh.

Is there an prefered extension mechanism from the tool's end that lets me 
attach more modules to this to-be-copied-module-specs list?  I believe I 
should be looking at drscheme:language:extend-language-interface and do 
the same sort of hackery that the lang/htdp-langs.ss module does with 
on-execute.  I just want to make sure that this is an acceptable place to 
do the namespace-attach-module stuff.
