It is at least well-known, and happens because the shebang will cause  
the system to run the interpreter command directly, and not through  
the shell. And it's the shell that grabs those variables from your  
profiles (by sourcing them into the running environment before the  
command is run). #!/bin/bash might/should work, but of course it  
might as well be left out in that case :-p.

For other interpreters, start it manually instead, for now (and don't  
use shebang).
