It should.  Perhaps you have EMACSLOADPATH set explicitly (from a
previous version of addpm, which did not include the site-lisp dirs?),
so it is not overridden by Emacs' startup code.

No.  I meant emacs_dir, sorry about the confusion. EMACSLOADPATH
should be initialized from that (see w32.c) when Emacs starts up.
