It is working correctly. You're naturally confused because fish special
cases PATH, MANPATH, and CDPATH. It automatically splits on colons when
importing those vars from the environment and joins the elements with
colons when exporting to an external command. It does not do that for any
other environment var. Not even those that have "PATH" in the name. This is
(sort of) documented:
fish automatically creates arrays from the variables PATH, CDPATH and

See https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/436 for a proposal on
how to improve this via "tied variables". I was working the code for that
feature which would have made it into the fish 3.0 release. Sadly I stopped
working on fish when I decided I could no longer work with one of the other
devs so I didn't complete that work. And it doesn't look like any of the
remaining devs consider it important enough to include in the 3.0 release.
