The short answer is that it sometimes worked by accident.

Here's another example, though, that shows that the original problem 
wasn't limited to just module+:

   (save-and-define lambda)
   (load lambda) ;; => 'different

That produces 'different in the module (without the module+) or at the REPL.

It's essentially like mutating a key held by a hash table. Sometimes you 
get lucky, but you can't rely on it. The long answer depends on the 
details of the hash function. (For example, the example above depends on 
the fact that lambda was originally defined under a different name.)
