What you've observed is correct behavior.

Things like PATH enhancements/changes belong in .bash_profile (as that file has 'generally' replaced the .profile functionality of yesteryear).  Also, putting new things into the PATH variable, should always be done at the end, not the beginning.

Thus:  PATH="x:${PATH}" is bad form and introduces potential security vulnerabilities.

And:  PATH="${PATH}:x" is correct.

    In ~/.bashrc on my system, which as far as I am aware is standard
    Fedora, the path specification is in there not .bash_profile.
