Oh interesting.
This seems like a more general issue.
Should we do this more centrally by adding to the list in
tests/envvar-check

Adding that name to the list in tests/envvar-check would have no
effect, since this case is not about inheriting from the original
environment, but rather about something that's inserted upon each
"env" invocation.

I don't fully understand where that env var is being set,
but don't see a specific issue with the patch, so please push.

BTW that test should not be dependent on the host env(1) since:
