Try to use the above statement, a bit altered:
(setenv "PATH" (concat "/Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin" ":" (getenv "PATH")))
(I presume the "matlab" file in the "/Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin" directory is already the executable, so it may not appear in PATH because then the matlab executable would be searched for in the not existing *directory* /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/matlab), maybe plus the following one:
(setq exec-path (split-string (getenv "PATH") path-separator))
The variable exec-path is responsible for supplying sub-processes in GNU Emacs with a search path for executables. You can also customise this variable, but would need to edit it when it changes when Matlab gets updated – just as with the "(setenv "PATH" ...)" statement.
