I concur.

FWIW, what seemed to me like a trivial potential fix that was worth
trying (despite having possible undesirable side effects):

  -    (let ((new-path (append paths load-path)))
  +    (let ((new-path (append load-path paths)))

  and

  -        (setq load-path (append add-on-package-paths old-load-path))))))
  +        (setq load-path (append old-load-path add-on-package-paths))))))

... does not seem to work: regardless of whether that patch is applied
or not, "emacs -q" gives me the same load-path. Given I got the same
results in my testing of Kevin's patch on #454778, I'm wondering if my
testing method is correct...

Cheers,
