Thanks for the report!

That's not true; when using EMACSLOADPATH the Emacs' bundled libraries
must be included explicitly, or an empty item be present (which means,
an extra ':' present).
See (elisp)Library Search:
An empty element in the value of the environment variable,
whether trailing (as in the above example), leading, or embedded, is
replaced by the default value of ‘load-path’ as determined by the
standard initialization procedure. If there are no such empty
elements, then ‘EMACSLOADPATH’ specifies the entire ‘load-path’.
You must include either an empty element, or the explicit path to
the directory containing the standard Lisp files, else Emacs will
not function.
That said, the search path specification defined in our Emacs packages
should be reordered so that a user profile appears first (before Emacs
bundled libraries).
I'll address this as part of bug #38309 (see:
https://bugs.gnu.org/38309). I'm planning to have it merged in a few
days at most.
Thanks!
Maxim
