Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I'm reasonably confident that commit
 e67bebbf735db498c2cbf191d1878644ca5ed5cc (`Load plugins in interactive
 session`) is the culprit:

 {{{#!diff
 -ghciUI :: [(FilePath, Maybe Phase)] -> Maybe [String] -> Ghc ()
 +ghciUI :: HscEnv -> DynFlags -> [(FilePath, Maybe Phase)] -> Maybe
 [String]
 +       -> Ghc ()
  #if !defined(GHCI)
 -ghciUI _ _ = throwGhcException (CmdLineError "not built for interactive
 use")
 +ghciUI _ _ _ _ =
 +  throwGhcException (CmdLineError "not built for interactive use")
  #else
 -ghciUI     = interactiveUI defaultGhciSettings
 +ghciUI hsc_env dflags0 srcs maybe_expr = do
 +  dflags1 <- liftIO (initializePlugins hsc_env dflags0)
 +  _ <- GHC.setSessionDynFlags dflags1
 +  interactiveUI defaultGhciSettings srcs maybe_expr
  #endif
 }}}

 This inserts a call to `setSessionDynFlags`, which transitively invokes
 `initPackages`, which is the function that logs the "`Loaded package
 environment from ...`" message. But if you look at the source code for
 `interactiveUI`, you'll see that it invokes `setProgramDynFlags`, which
 //itself// transitively invokes `initPackages`!

 It seems like we might want to decouple the action of logging package
 environments from `initPackages`. Thoughts, hvr?
