Sorry, I fail to see where is the bug :-).  This is our the search-path
specifications have always worked; they work per profile and are
attached to the application acting as the "consumer" of the environment
variable it sets.

If we want to work on improving this we already have the following
issues opened awaiting work:

20255 'search-paths' should respect both user and system profile.

and somewhat related:

22138 Search paths of dependencies are not honored

Thanks,

Maxim
