What steps can reproduce the bug?

When using a plugin that utilizes onLoad, it will render all subsequent await import watches ineffective, preventing them from restarting upon changes.

1. Create index.ts

import { plugin as registerPlugin } from 'bun';

console.log('index', Date.now());

// Register plugin
registerPlugin({
    name: 'plugin',
    setup(builder) {
        builder.onLoad(
            { filter: /.*/ },
            async ({ path }) => {
                return {
                    contents: await Bun.file(path).text(),
                    loader: 'ts',
                };
            },
        );
    },
});

await import('./a');

2. Create a.ts

console.warn('file a', Date.now());

3. run watch mode

bun --watch run ./index.ts

Now save a.ts file, nothing happened.

What is the expected behavior?

Any changes to files imported via import should trigger an automatic restart.

What do you see instead?

No automatic restart.
