timlinux at vaoi:~/dev/cpp/qgis-github-clone$ egrep -R QGIS_PLUGINPATH src/*
src/python/qgspythonutilsimpl.cpp:  // plugin dirs passed in
QGIS_PLUGINPATH env. variable have highest priority (usually empty)
src/python/qgspythonutilsimpl.cpp:  const char* cpaths = getenv(
"QGIS_PLUGINPATH" );
src/python/qgspythonutilsimpl.h:    //! return a list of extra plugins
paths passed with QGIS_PLUGINPATH environment variable

No it is only read. I suggest using a command similar to above to
search your home directory to see if it has been set somewhere.
