I have observed the same thing. The environment variable setting
exists in the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<servicename>\Parameters\Environment
registry subkey, but Process Explorer does not show the environment
variable in the list of environment variables for the process.

I have not looked at the code, but it seems that environment variables
specified in this way are not propagated to the environment block for
the process but instead are read some other way.
