What's happening is that merely loading "startup" changes load-path. I see that in my build, but for me it changes load-path to something harmless (it adds the symlink $blddir/lisp -> $srcdir/lisp). Resetting load-path at dump time is apparently intentional; see the comment on the call to `startup-setup-paths' around line 1710 in startup.el. I don't have time to look into it further today, and probably not until the weekend. You could try pinging Mike.
