xterm -ls just causes the shell launched by xterm to be a login
shell. That is, it runs 'bash --login' rather than 'bash' for the
shell. A login shell uses ~/.bash_profile when it starts.

This is pretty philosophical... I don't see the launhced xterm as a
login terminal, so I don't really agree that it should use -ls to
force bash to load .profile (or .bash_profile)... It should just
load ~/.bashrc

Well that did it.
Added "XTerm*LoginShell: true" tothe top of my new ~/Xterm so
that it
loads my ~/.bash_profile.
BTW, that's equivalent to running 'xterm -ls' (which I think was
suggested
earlier as a fix for this issue).
