OK now I understand the problem. You're right, this situation exists.
I'm not sure this causes any problems, however. Using
enable-locallisppath implies you are using another set of site-lisp
directories, but its documentation (from configure --help, which is
the only place this option is mentioned) is rather vague:
directories Emacs should search for lisp files
specific to this site
so it's plausible that the site-lisp directories are created but not
used, since the user is specifying another set of site directories to
look at instead.
It seems to me harmless to let this situation be. I don't know if
either not creating the directories or adding them to load-path will
break any existing installations.
