[racket] combine-in doesnt combine?

It does accept a union, but a module import is a finite map (from
identifiers to their definitions), not just a set.  The union is only
well defined if all duplicated keys map to the same values.  In this
case, one import maps image? to the definition in htdp, and the other
maps image? to the definition in 2htdp.  The union is not well
defined, so combine-in must fail.
