It does. If it didn't do this you've found a bug. Please report it.

Out of scope for this tool, though it can do it with passing along flag

There's no such thing. ENV variables are shell specific. The PATH is 
defined in the shell initialization script on *nix. It literally tells the 
shell what directories to look in. On Windows it does this as the PATH is 
set by an OS call directly. Unfortunately bash on Windows ignores it.
