Because you are overriding the values of variables that Emacs uses at
startup. The startup procedure involves some non-trivial logic for
loading user-init-file and custom-file, and you are interfering with
that logic by setting their values in your ~/.emacs, which is read
half-way through the startup process.
Simply load the files by name, or use other variables. Then Emacs
should load these files only once, as you want.
