Dynamic import fails in DevTools inspector (invalid host defined options)

[bpstrngr]

• Version: 14.10.1
• Platform: linux
• Subsystem:

What steps will reproduce the bug?

On a regular (client-side) DevTools panel console and from REPL, i can use import("./index.js").then(console.log) no problem.
When i try to do the same in an instance of chrome's node inspector connected to localhost:9229 though, i get

TypeError: Invalid host defined options
    at <anonymous>:1:1

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

everytime, while running a node process with --inspect flag
(node --inspect)

What is the expected behavior?

importing the module present on the execution path.

What do you see instead?

"invalid host defined options" error

Additional information

error referenced but solved indirectly in webpack/webpack-cli#1274 and facebook/create-react-app#2271

Getting the same using the embedder API. Is there anything to setup in the environment for this to work?
