What steps will reproduce the bug?

Object.prototype.then = (onFulfilled) => {
	delete Object.prototype.then
	onFulfilled({ value: undefined, done: true })
}

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

N/A

What is the expected behavior?

It would be great not to throw an error.

What do you see instead?

If you import/dynamically import something before setting Object.prototype.then, you get this error:

node:internal/modules/esm/loader:527
        .then(({ module }) => module.getNamespace());
                                     ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getNamespace')

    at async loadESM (node:internal/process/esm_loader:91:5)
    at async handleMainPromise (node:internal/modules/run_main:65:12)

Node.js v18.11.0

however if you use a dynamic import after it, you get a different error:

node:internal/errors:484
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_RETURN_PROPERTY_VALUE]: Expected a url string to be returned for the "url" from the "node:internal/modules/esm/resolve 'resolve'" 
function but got type undefined.

}

Additional information

this is a very niche use case

This is not really possible to fix. If you're trying to monkey-patch some code, I'd suggest modifying the specific objects you're working with rather than Object.prototype.

I'm (trying) to run a WPT that modifies Object.prototype and crashes the entire runner. If it's not possible to fix it can be closed :)
