PATH has /bin before /usr/bin in upgraded rawhide

Hi,

I just noticed that my rawhide installation, which was originally 
installed when F18 was rawhide in summer 2012 and upgraded since, has

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/sandro/.local/bin:/home/sandro/bin

On a fresh rawhide installation, I get

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/sandro/.local/bin:/home/sandro/bin

So, the order of /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin is reversed. Who is 
screwing up the order?
- /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile.d/* are identical between 
the "old" and the "new" installations
- strings /bin/bash | grep /bin gives me the same output in both cases
- my .bashrc and .bash_profile are harmless (i.e. 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sandro
