That's because the default value of `TeX-style-path' is constructed
dynamically when it is defined. This is its defcustom:
(defcustom TeX-style-path
(let ((path))
;; Put directories in an order where the more local files can
;; override the more global ones.
(mapc (lambda (file)
(when (and file (not (member file path)))
(setq path (cons file path))))
(append (list TeX-auto-global TeX-style-global)
TeX-auto-private TeX-style-private
(list TeX-auto-local TeX-style-local)))
(nreverse path))
...
The constructed value simply obeys the values of `TeX-auto-global' etc.
at that time.
