Public bug reported:

A few pieces of code that launch a child process try to build a
PYTHONPATH environment variable by stitching sys.path together; this
produces incorrect results, depending on what happens to be on sys.path.
It is also unnecessary: if the current value of PYTHONPATH resulted in
the current value of sys.path, then it should have exactly the same
effect in the child process without any modification.
