At this point, we no longer need to guess. It's immediately clear.
Using "su -" is an acceptable solution, though not my preferred one if
this is your own system, as opposed to one where you are a "guest admin".
I'd rather fix the problem permanently, by putting appropriate content
into the /etc/default/su file.
unicorn:~$ cat /etc/default/su
ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes
unicorn:~$ su
