The JSON blob for the strings.test executable, which consists of a single generated testmain file that resides in the cache, doesn't have an Imports section even though the file has five imports.

Does go list (in the golang/go repo) exhibit the same problem?

[alandonovan]

Yes, it does (go version devel +b7d9e6e149).
