I found (from someone else) a solution. To my ~/.emacs, I added:
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "elisp" (getenv "HOME")))
(setq exec-path (split-string "/Users/jamesebailey/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/ 
bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin" path-separator))
(setenv "PATH" (mapconcat 'identity exec-path ":"))

And now even emacs.app works as expected.
