(Brett, the question is about import.)

The problem is the mode call in clock.py, which I will move today as part of 21882.

I am sorely puzzled that the patch in #21823 could have changed the effect of mode(). There are only two changes, only one of which could be relevant.

1.
 from turtle import *
+from turtle import Terminator  # not in __all__
 mode()

My understanding is that the newly added second import should just add a reference to Terminator in the existing module. It is a standard Exception subclass: from turtle.py, "class Terminator(Exception): pass".  I could and will add 'Terminator' to __all__ instead, but it seems to me that the added statement *should* be innocuous.

What am I missing? Does __all__ change the import machinery in the calls to frozen importlib.bootstrap or do these call always happen behind the scene with any import?  From the most recent first traceback:
...

  File "/Users/buildbot/buildarea/3.x.murray-snowleopard/build/Lib/test/test___all__.py", line 23 in check_all
...

2. Added a try:except: within a function, not called on import, to catch previously uncaught Terminator exception.

This is an instance of the problems identified in Issue21882, namely that test___all__ is importing turtledemo modules and some of them have bad side effects. In this case, it's turtledemo.clock which is calling mode() which now unconditionally attempts to create a Tk window during the import. That means Tk is being called without being subject to the checks of test_support.requires('gui'). One of the reasons for having that check is to prevent this kind of crash (as documented in Issue8716) in Tk when Tk is invoked in a process that cannot make a window manager connection, as when running under a buildbot with a user name that is not logged in as the main gui user.  Note also that when Tk crashes, there is nothing the Python code can really do to recover from it.  The solution is as outlined in #21882: don't unconditionally call mode() in the import path.
