This is by design.  --with-package-prefix is designed to simplify
package-path specification.  It omits last-package-path entirely and
hard-codes early-package-path to ~/.xemacs.

Use --with-package-path.

FWIW, I don't see much point in arguing about the defaults.  IMHO the
package path specification stuff is basically broken from the point of
view of allowing users to say what they want simply.

Are you sure?  I suspect that you switched from --package-path to
--package-prefix.
