After studying the source carefully, I now see that the extra commits to the
modules file could have been avoided simply by specifying a vendor-branch
import with "non-vendor-branch" tags.

The only improvement that I can suggest now is either to document this feature
at the top of the file, something like:

When importing after an incomplete previous attempt which already created the
modules entry, specify a vendor-branch import with "normal import" tags.

or to change the prompt question to something more general such as:

(for vendor-branch import, etc.)
use the existing module path?

It's rather ugly perhaps, but easier to make sense of.
