Research direction

Start with the migrated BPO issue 44673 and the embedded Python behavior named in the title, particularly pythonXX._pth and local directories. No source files or tests are identified, so first reproduce the behavior and determine the expected handling from the issue discussion; done means the behavior is clarified and covered by an appropriate regression test.
