Yes, it will be fixed in 3.2.

SAGE_PATH is one of the many undocumented environment variables Sage
uses [1], which I found in the list archives when I was trying to solve
this problem.
After complaints about Sage clearing the PYTHONPATH environment, it was
suggested that we use a different variable for this. SAGE_PATH was
chosen. It works for the command line, and the notebook, but it
was ignored for doctesting.
BTW, there are a few bugs in trac which ask for functionality provided
by SAGE_PATH, it would be good to see if they can be closed.
[1] Do we at least have a wiki page about these environment variables?
Cheers,
Burcin
