site.py should always be robust to missing settings and follow its default behavior that import-related errors are quietly ignored. The offending code seen in the error reported in http://sourceforge.net/p/jython/mailman/message/33546082/ is found here:

def makepath(*paths):
    dir = os.path.join(*paths)
    if _is_jython and (dir == '__classpath__' or
                       dir.startswith('__pyclasspath__')):
            return dir, dir
    try:
        dir = os.path.abspath(dir)
    except OSError:
        pass
    return dir, os.path.normcase(dir)

That should be easy enough to fix.
