Well, it's removing DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment of child
processes that it perceives as "scripts", but not from the environment
of normal programs (like clang, Satish's example C program, etc.).  This
seems like a comically ill-conceived idea that offers no practical
security benefit, but I'd like to understand the intended semantics so
that we can give clean instructions for working around it.
