X11.app being an aqua app, it does not read the unix environment.   
The first xterm is probably considered a login shell and thus reads  
the environment.  You can set every xterm to be login shell with the  
"-ls" option.  Or you can use a window manager that is aware of the  
environment (any other, I guess)
