/bin/sh is probably a link for /bin/bash, which means the /bin/sh executing 
startkde is bash, started as a login shell, thus sourcing .bash_profile

I am pretty sure this is done before any KDE involvment by the shell itself.

Try
env > /tmp/env_at_kde_start.txt
as the first (well after #!/bin/shobviously) line of startkde
