How will Emacs know that these variables weren't set by the parent
shell?

Building Emacs is just one use case, even if we find a solution for
it.  The problem is much broader: Emacs running as a child of another
Emacs gets EMACSDATA etc. variables that could well point to a wrong
place, because they were set by a different Emacs version.
