Valery Ushakov <uwe@stderr.spb.ru> tracked it down.

It was a bug in the environ variable handling in NetBSD's libc that
interacted badly with emacs' loading/saving of environment states.

See the thread on NetBSD's current-users mailing list; perhaps start
reading at

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2013/09/08/msg023271.html

where Valery starts getting into details.

A fix was committed to NetBSD-current; I think the bug appeared after
NetBSD 5 and before NetBSD 6.

You can close this bug report. Thanks for your help!
 Thomas
