So, two interesting questions: does this in fact match the behavior of os._execvpe, and does it match the behavior of the shell?  The latter would appear to be false, and could arguably be claimed to be a bug.  If we agree that it is, we need to learn what the behavior of the shell is in a bunch of corner cases (only inaccessible directories on path, only match is accessible but not executable, etc).

If this is a bug I'd guess it applies to all supported python versions.

Note that it should be possible to reproduce this using a single user, so I've changed the title accordingly.
