Debug it. Check that you really set the Emacs env by M-x getenv RET
BASH_ENV RET. Also check the values of the Emacs variables:
`sh-shell-file' and `shell-file-name' (they should be "bash" NOT "sh").
Add set -x as the 1st line of your /etc/profile and check if it is 
called or any later command changes the PATH. 

Just to give you hope, I can tell you that it works fine for me and 
other users.

Ehud.
