Have you tried running the C++ backend in debug mode, with omniidl
-bcxx -Wbdebug. That might give more information about what goes
wrong.

omniidl doesn't mess with the import mechanism. On Windows omniidl is
an executable linked against the Python library, so that might explain
the problem. Try setting the PYTHONVERBOSE environment variable before
running omniidl. That might produce something useful.
