Is this expected behaviour, or a bug?

Expected behaviour. Only one of -e and a file can be supplied at any time (see below) and the extension needs to load Julia with an internal startup file.

❯ cat test.jl
println("file")

❯ julia -e 'println("cmd")' test.jl
cmd

❯ julia test.jl -e 'println("cmd")'
file

(More specifically, I want to push! to LOAD_PATH in order to add development-time dependencies (which I don’t want to place in the Base environment

Consider using a normal environment for that. Generally, I’d caution against LOAD_PATH modifications.
