core-js 3 missing .js extension when 'type': 'module'

Bug Report

• I would like to work on a fix!

Current behavior

'type': 'module' is used in package.json and when corejs: 3 is specified in babel.config.js webpack complains about missing .js extension despite it existing in src/page.js. If I comment out corejs: 3 then the error goes away.

ERROR in ./src/page.js 1:0-37
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'core-js/modules/es.weak-set' in '/home/kieran/PhpstormProjects/babel-test/src'
Did you mean 'es.weak-set.js'?
BREAKING CHANGE: The request 'core-js/modules/es.weak-set' failed to resolve only because it was resolved as fully specified
(probably because the origin is a '*.mjs' file or a '*.js' file where the package.json contains '"type": "module"').
The extension in the request is mandatory for it to be fully specified.
Add the extension to the request.

I would be incredibly grateful if someone could put me out my misery.

Expected behavior

I expect the code to transpile when using corejs 3.

Babel Configuration (babel.config.js, .babelrc, package.json#babel, cli command, .eslintrc)

• Filename: babel.config.js

module.exports = {
    presets: [
        [
            '@babel/preset-env',
            {
                'useBuiltIns': 'entry',
                'corejs': 3, // <--- problematic line
            }
        ]
    ],
    plugins: [
        // Don't allow polyfills to pollute global namespace.
        '@babel/plugin-transform-runtime',
        // Support for the experimental syntax 'classPrivateProperties'
        '@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties',
        // Support for the experimental syntax 'classPrivateMethods'
        '@babel/plugin-proposal-private-methods',
    ]
};

Possible Solution

You could try using https://github.com/tleunen/babel-plugin-module-resolver to add the .js extension to core-js imports.

I’m having the same issue in my configuration. babel-plugin-module-resolver didn’t help since most of node_modules packages are not transpiled, making that alias config above useless
