It's by design of sshd, right now. Even though cygrunsrv propagates this environment to the child applications, sshd doesn't. This is a change to sshd which had been requested upstream. The main developers felt that propagating all SYSTEM environment to the unprivileged child applications has to be treated as unsecure. Therefore I implemented to propagate only the core Windows environment to child processes back in 3.9, AFAIR.
