Found it.

Since I'm using OPIE, my /etc/pam.d/common-auth looks like this:

  auth    sufficient      pam_unix.so nullok_secure
  auth    sufficient      pam_opie.so 
  auth    required        pam_deny.so

Since /etc/pam.d/xdm includes common-auth before anything else, pam_env
never gets a chance to run.

You should therefore move all requisite/required directives (ie. all of
them) *before* the includes, like login/sshd/gdm/etc. already do.
