I can reproduce this bug on Emacs 27.1 using the following recipe:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-x eshell
2. Enter commands in eshell:
mkdir /tmp/foobin
cp /bin/true /tmp/foobin/foobar
setenv PATH /tmp/foobin
foobar
Here is a transcript:
Welcome to the Emacs shell
~ $ mkdir /tmp/foobin
~ $ cp /bin/true /tmp/foobin/foobar
~ $ setenv PATH /tmp/foobin
/tmp/foobin
~ $ foobar
foobar: command not found
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
