The repeated paths shouldn't matter at all.  The TeX-related paths could, possibly matter, but you're the first to complain.  Can you elaborate what happened there?

Well, you can set the path to some constant using Emacs Lisp before starting the shell.

Aquamacs adds the above paths unconditionally to enable zero-config LaTeX functionality.
