No, it doesn't (necesarily). In your test you start the shell (most likely
/bin/sh, which most likeliy is a link to /bin/bash or /bin/dash) from within
another shell runnning in a terminal emulator and _that_ shell most likely
read ~/.bashrc and exported those environment variables.

When run from a terminal (emulator)?  Hard to belive.
If run from some desktop file (or menu or whatever) then yes, that
would be expected. If you want bash to consult startup files you must 
run it as a 'login' shell. So, either 'bash --login' or 'bash -l'
