It should. Using '(setenv "PATH" "...")' does not have the expected effect for 'call-process'. The environment variable "PATH" is correctly updated, the variable 'process-environment' is also updated, but what 'call-process' actually uses to locate the executable is the variable 'exec-path'. This should be clearly stated in the documentation.
