This is like expecting bash shell scripts to source your ~/.bashrc.
.bashrc is only sourced for interactive shells, not non-interactive
shells, like the one invoked by the shebang line in a shell script.

Arguably you're relying on incorrect behaviour in escript and you should
adjust your usage accordingly.
