Applications are not run from a login shell, so they don't inherit the
same paths. This is an old problem.
Your method of addressing this won't work with pre-10.5 versions of
the OS.
The correct way is, IMHO, either leave it to the system to set the
correct environment variables for the applications, or, as a
convenience for users, start a login shell, print the environment and
import it. (I've been doing that in Aquamacs for a long time; the
code is there if people want it.)
