Yes. Because Bash is your login shell, it gets invoked as part of

Oh, interesting! You're right - I did not realize that would happen.
And that was indeed the solution, although I made a mistake at the
time. I'd initially put that line in bashrc instead while trying
things, then saw that bash_profile sourced bashrc so assumed it'd do
the same. I missed, however, that bashrc returned earlier in the file
if running in a noninteractive shell, so my additions were never
reached while spawning the X session.
Thank you for the help, and sorry for the run-around!
