The change does not appear intentional; however, athena_path is only
there for compatibility with .path files.  I think you're a total
outlier case, and there are other ways to do what you want (save your
$athena_path in .environment after running your add commands, for
instance).

You may find add -r helpful if you don't already know about it.
