IIUC the difference is because Terminal.app runs the shell as a login
shell (which is a somewhat unusual choice, for an old Unix guy), whereas
Emacs's M-x shell doesn't.
You can make your .bashrc to source /etc/profile.
Tho maybe your better choice will be to try and make Emacs's own PATH to
be set properly (i.e. have it run your path_helper somehow).
