Compiled Deno project can't import typescript code

Does Deno compile remove its ability to import typescript code? This only work in deno run, but fails on the deno compile bynary

async function importjs(js: string, filename = "importedjs") {
  const dataUri =
    "data:text/typescript;charset=utf-8," +
    encodeURIComponent(js) +
    `//# sourceURL=${filename}.ts;`;
  const r = await import(dataUri);
  return r;
}

console.log(
  (await importjs(`export default () => "hello world" as any`)).default()
);

async function importjs(js: string, filename = "importedjs") {
  const dataUri =
    "data:text/typescript;charset=utf-8," +
    encodeURIComponent(js) +
    `//# sourceURL=${filename}.ts;`;
  const r = await import(dataUri);
  return r;
}

console.log(
  (await importjs(`export default () => "hello world" as any`)).default()
);

would love an issue on github for this though which outlines the use cases. I think right now there is nothing that tracks that
