There are various other ways to define these variables. However, not seeing the variables from the system environment is OpenSSH policy. The variables set resp. inherited by default is somewhat like the bare minimum to allow Windows applications to run. This is more or less equal to what the SSH daemon does on other operating systems. The child process only inherits a base set of environment variables and further environment entries have to be added afterwards. Bottom line: It's expected that you have to redefine the variable values by some measure in the child shell.
