Different weird issues when something imported from 'typescript' module

Issue

Weird resolving issues happen as soon as import form typescript module added:

import { transform } from 'typescript';

Error example 1

Buffer module was resolved as empty.js (as I've found from bundled file in temp dir) despite having addNodeGlobals and even buffer module installed manually.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'isBuffer' of undefined\nat /var/folders/01/xnjcgz3d5x16_nzyt82rjh1c07pp5j/T/karma-typescript-bundle-4483FfKhLR6XL56f.js:19867:27

One of my files was referencing uuid js module, which is using buffer module imported. Works if typescript import removed.

In bundle file:

global.process=require('_process');
global.Buffer=require('buffer').Buffer;
},'bundle/node-globals',{"_process":"/Users/apurin/Repos/twilsock.js/node_modules/process/browser.js","buffer":"/Users/apurin/Repos/twilsock.js/node_modules/browser-resolve/empty.js"}];

How to repro

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "declaration": true,
        "noImplicitAny": false,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "target": "es2017",
        "lib": [ "es7", "dom" ]
    },
    "include": [
        "issue.ts"
    ]
}

karma.conf.js:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    basePath: '',
    frameworks: ['karma-typescript'],
    files: [ 'issue.ts' ],
    preprocessors: { 'issue.ts': ['karma-typescript'] },
    reporters: ['karma-typescript'],
    port: 9876,
    colors: true,
    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
    autoWatch: false,
    browsers: ['Chrome'],
    singleRun: true,
    concurrency: Infinity,
    karmaTypescriptConfig: {
      compilerOptions: {
        target: 'es5',
        sourceMap: true
      },
      bundlerOptions: {
        addNodeGlobals: true,
        sourceMap: true
      },
      tsconfig: './tsconfig.json'
    }
  });
};

issue.ts:

import { transform } from 'typescript';

Forgot to add exact version (but issue persisted through all karma/npm versions I've tried). Those are latest version on this moment:

  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "^2.0.2",
    "karma-chrome-launcher": "^2.2.0",
    "karma-typescript": "^3.0.12",
    "typescript": "^2.8.3"
  }

This isn't supported yet, I'll leave this open!
