Importing module in JS script inside HTML file

Question

Why does line 3 break this example? It works fine with line 3 commented out.

<button id="button">Click me</button>
<script type="module">
  import { foo } from "script.js";    // BREAKS THINGS

  document.getElementById("button")
    .addEventListener("click",
      function(){ alert("hello") } );
</script>
