Why do you think it doesn't?  I've read your original description, and
didn't understand why you thought moving it from the "normal" init
file to early-init would solve the problem.  Perhaps because I don't
understand why you modify PATH from within Emacs, and what does that
have to do with your image DLLs.

The recommended way of doing stuff like that is to change the
system-wide environment, i.e. add the above to your environment
variables, so that you don't need to set this up anew each Emacs
invocation.
