Terraform-provider-aws: terraform import does not work for AWS Security Group

[hashibot]

_This issue was originally opened by @nateww as hashicorp/terraform#12252. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below._

---

In the process of moving from a flat setup (no modules), we migrated out project to a more modularized setup.

For example

flat:
- etcd_sg.tf
- etcd.tf
...

modular:
- etcd_nodes.tf
- modules:
  - etcd:
    main.tf
    etcd_sg.tf
    outputs.tf

I'm experiencing this in 0.9.6.
Does this issue persist to latest, as I intend to migrate to 0.11.x in a few weeks?

Still broken in v0.12.18
