I don't think that's relevant, is it?

It may make no real difference in practice, but I think I'd prefer to
see it set to a valid value. Eg whatever the bash shell's hard-coded
default is for PATH (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin?) plus exec-directory.

(Also the setq-default seems superfluous, since exec-path is not buffer-local.)
