Believe it or not, this is the documented behavior of Idle on all platforms.  You have to specify -s to have PYTHONSTARTUP run.

See the last comment in Issue5594, and also the referenced issue 5233, which has a patch that apparently changes this behavior, although that isn't mentioned in that issue itself.

I'm making this a feature request for changing the default behavior, to see what people think.
