I don't think there is anything strange going on. Anytime you set a
variable, its "lifetime" is only for the duration of that shell. If
you go to another terminal, you'll be running another shell, where
you'd need to export the variable again to have it work.

And, if you are adding it to .profile, it won't kick in until you log
in and log out, and only if (I think) the shell is a "login" shell.
You'll probably want to do

$ source .profile

to commit the changes.



This actually can have some advantages.
