Linking a module has assertions about the module's state, namely that
the state is not "new". The state remains "new" if loading the module
has failed. See: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#figure-module-graph-missing
In any case, this exception causes a loading failure, which results
in A's [[Status]] remaining new.
So we must propagate that failure, instead of blindly moving on to the
linking steps.
