Thanks for pointing out this problem.  I think I've fixed it in Emacs 
trunk bzr 116077 and am marking this as done.  If the fix doesn't work 
for you we can reopen the bug report.

In Emacs 24.3.50, $EMACSLOADPATH stopped working.

To reproduce, save the following code as `load-path-test.el':

(defun print-path-list (paths)
  (dolist (path paths)
    (princ (concat "  " path))
    (terpri)))

(defun main ()
  (princ "load-path:")
  (terpri)
  (print-path-list load-path)
  (princ "$EMACSLOADPATH")
  (terpri)
  (print-path-list (split-string (getenv "EMACSLOADPATH")
                                 (regexp-quote path-separator))))

Then run it with `EMACSLOADPATH=$HOME:/tmp emacs -Q --batch -l
load-path-test -f main'.  I see the following output:

load-path:

  /usr/local/Cellar/emacs/HEAD/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/obsolete
$EMACSLOADPATH
  /Users/swiesner
  /tmp

As you can see, `load-path' is not initialized with the value of
$EMACSLOADPATH, even though the variable is properly exported and known
to the Emacs process.

What am I doing wrong?
