I just want to confirm I'm having a similar problem since installing the Security update. The environment variable isn't visible in my application (nor in terminal), though it is correctly set in my environment.plist file and worked fine before the update.

That would certainly make a kind of sense: an envar like this one (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) is actually a major back door for a number of hacker attacks, and such settings are often pruned at security barrier points (such as sudo and Pseudo). I don't quite see the justification in this particular case (we're talking about the same user inside and outside Xcode, after all), but possibly I'm missing something, and possibly this change was a deliberate security measure (in which case, possibly it would be nice if we has some more overt info from Apple....).
