I consider two Emacs instance
1) instance master : it was built today (2017-06-29) from the HEAD of
master branch. Its absolute path is
c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs/bin/emacs.exe
2) instance emacs-25: it was built on 2017-06-14 from the HEAD of
emacs-25 branch. Its absolute path is
c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs_build20170614/bin/emacs.exe
Then I do the following two experiments :
1) The EMACS environment variable points at Emacs instance master,
c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs/bin/emacs.exe.
2) From an MSYS bash console, outside Emacs, I launch the following
command:
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
$EMACS --batch -Q --eval '(princ load-path)' \
> /tmp/load-path-outside-other-emacs.txt 2>&1
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
The content of load-path-outside-other-emacs.txt is as follows (all the
content is stdout):
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

To me this output is correct.
3) From a DOS shell inside emacs-25 instance, launched by `M-x shell', I
launch the following command, that is equivalent to the first one:
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
%EMACS% --batch -Q --eval "(princ load-path)" ^
> %TEMP%\load-path-inside-emacs-dos.txt 2>&1
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
Then I get the following output:
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
(c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs_build20170614/share/emacs/26.0.50/lisp)Warning: arch-dependent data dir 'c:/Nos_Programmes/GNU/Emacs_build20170614/libexec/emacs/26.0.50/i686-pc-mingw32/': Permission denied

Warning: Could not find simple.el or simple.elc
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
The text up to `)' is stdout, and the remainder is stderr. To me this
output is wrong.
Please note that this has nothing to do with console being DOS or MSYS,
but it has to do with. I did the experiment the other way out (using a
DOS console outside Emacs, and an MSYS console inside Emacs). I get the
correct output when launching the command from outside Emacs, and the
wrong output when launching the command from inside another instance of
Emacs.
VBR,
Vincent.

I think this is because Emacs 25 exports to the environment of the
subordinate Emacs its value of emacs_dir, which then points the
subordinate Emacs at the directory where Emacs 25 lives.
Emacs 26 fixed that problem, AFAIR, so I think if you do it the other
way around, i.e. invoke Emacs 25 from inside Emacs 26, you will see
the expected behavior.

Dear Eli,
As suggested by you, I have done the experiment of launching an Emacs 25
from inside an Emacs 26, and I got the expected behaviour.
Thank you for your kind feedback, this one can be closed.
Vincent.
