In fact, won't this cause this routine to always return true for anything not already in this module and therefore exactly when we would be introducing a cross-module reference?

You're right that the logic seems wrong.

But I'm not sure your are describing what the test is doing: it is checking that we don't import `reference_gv_with_section` which is a function that does not have a section attached, but reference an internal variable with a section.
