System Information
Windows 7 64 bit, Nvidia GeForce GT540M Cuda

Blender Version
Broken: 2.65 up to current: 2.70a
Worked: 2.64a

Short description of error
Modules such as bge.logic (GameLogic), bge.texture (VideoTexture), ... are overwritten by folders with corresponding names 'GameLogic', 'VideoTexture', ... if they are located in the same directory as the opened blend file, which makes these modules unaccessible.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Press 'P' to play the game. Check the System Console to compare the results if the folders are in the same directory as the blend file, and when they are not.

bge.logic, etc are actually just aliases to modules such as GameLogic (this was done to keep compatibility with older scripts). Therefore, when you have a GameLogic folder, it overrides the builtin GameLogic module, which bge.logic then references. I don't know if this is really something worth fixing though. Campbell, what are your thoughts?

I would like to add my opinion. It may be not so very important. Probably not very straightforward to have folders named 'GameLogic' or 'VideoTexture' anyway. So since this is just a design issue, I don't think it's worth fixing it either. But then I think the only thing that needs to be done is adding to the API documentation that it should be avoided to have folders in the same directory as the opened blend file with names: 'GameLogic', 'VideoTexture', ... I think this would provide the necessary transparency.

Campbell, here is a patch adding a warning to the docs:
bge_mod_warning.dff

Could you give this a quick review?

I would rather not add notes like this in docs since this can be fixed in the code.

See: BPyInit_bmesh how it initializes submodules.

This can be a replacement for setupGamePython use of PyRun_SimpleString
