If a user sets NIX_PATH in their ~/.bashrc file (or similar) then running ./manage <deployment> .shell will get the NIX_PATH as defined/overridden by the .bashrc file. This could be dangerous if you expect the environment to be safe and end up deploying a different channel than you expected.

Is this bug because nix-shell is run after exporting NIX_PATH in the manage script, and thus it overrides what nixpkgs-version.sh returns?

I believe so yes. Perhaps nix-shell -I would fix this, but probably not. I think nix-shell --command 'NIX_PATH=<the-one-we-want>' might fix it.
