Follow-up Comment #1, bug #31695 (project octave):

I don't think this is specific to the run-octave script.  I don't see
anything there that sets the PATH.

But Octave does put some directories in EXEC_PATH, and that is prepended to
PATH when the system function executes an external program.  The idea there is
to ensure that we call programs installed with Octave before others in the
user's PATH.  But maybe this is not the best solution.  Perhaps we should
discuss this on the maintainers list.
