This allows one to run applications from PATH and override libraries for applications inside chrootenv. Useful for development environments.

Ah, yes. No `--pure` flag for now but buildFHSUserEnv isn't generally suited for isolation.

LGTM, this would e.g. also make #61839 possible.
If it should be configurable we could introduce an attribute like pure ? false that can be passed to env.nix via buildFHSUserEnv (@Mic92 would that be enough?).
(Or we could do something like nix-shell does and store the original PATH to another environment variable like HOST_PATH.)

Care to elaborate? I would keep them as they don't cause any harm (and I personally prefer quoting everything by default). While it shouldn't make a difference for Bash, there are or at least where shell where it does make a difference (IIRC).
