That's why I stressed (maybe not clear enough) to load a LaTeX file
before checking the value of the variable.  As soon as you open a
LaTeX file, tex.el will be loaded and `TeX-style-path' defined.

As you got a correct value after loading tex.el manually in the `emacs
-Q' case, I am assuming the same would be true in case you loaded a
LaTeX file.  That means there is probably some code in a site init
file or your user init file which prevents `TeX-style-private' or
`TeX-style-path' from being set correctly.  You could try to find
errors in your user init file by adding

(setq debug-on-error t)

as the first line to your user init file, starting Emacs with
`emacs --no-site-file --debug-init', and loading a LaTeX file.
