Flymake runs the byte-compiler is another Emacs session, so what you see
is a result of an interaction between the way flymake starts this other
Emacs and the way you set the `load-path` in your Emacs's configuration.

To see if it should be considered "your fault" or "flymake's fault",
we'd need more details about your config.  I suggest you file a bug
report for that (even if it's "your fault", maybe we could improve the
diagnostics or the documentation to make it easier to track down).
