I tried that, didn't work. Again, I have no problem setting system-wide environment variables in launchd.conf. If I set "foo" to "bar" then "foo" is set to "bar" in my environment. But if I set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to anything, it's like I didn't set it at all.
Exactly the same behavior with environment.plist. It seems to me like DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is on some kind of blacklist.
