The current implementation of the Python Path Configuration can be found in:

* Windows: PC/getpathp.c
* Unix: Modules/getpath.c

It should be skipped if Py_SetPath() is used, but I recommend to only rely on PyConfig and its documentation:
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/init_config.html#python-path-configuration

If the documentation is wrong, it must be fixed ;-)

I still don't understand if the issue involves Py_SetPath() or not.
