- You might invoke a shell script instead and log the environment
variables and emacs startup arguments before invoking emacs.

- I saw this a lot as a result of dll relocation before I changed the
emacs load address.  What OS are you using?  Maybe the loader
acts differently.  Or maybe you have zillions of dlls loaded?
Do you have the program from sysinternals (or is it Microsoft?)
that dumps the loaded dlls on the system?
