Have you enabled PermitUserEnvironment in sshd_config?  It defaults to "no",
and be aware that it may permit users to monkey around with things like
LD_PRELOAD.

Do any of the shell startup scripts set LOGNAME?  My /etc/profile does but I'm
not sure if it's stock or a local addition.

Now that might be a bug, I'll take a look at it.
