Strange. Could you do that again and check whether there is some hint of
your original user name in the environment?
I.e. something like this:

$ su
# env | grep dhoworth
...

I'd have to check how pp actually determines the current user. I think
it first tries some kind of system call and only falls back to %ENV if
that fails. I'm pretty sure it all comes down to some su/sudo oddity,
but I thought it would apply to sudo only.

Cheers,
Steffen
