I have only ever seen minimal environments on the machines I have run jobs.
I can only think of the following:
* Job runs as you rather than as user nobody:
  o Maybe differing UID_DOMAIN or FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN settings on the machines that 
    you get a minimal or a normal env set 
  o Or maybe different security policies on the two machines
* Or maybe the jobs with a richer env set actually run on the submitting machine
  and hence can run as you

To check any of the above, just send a simple shellscript checking
hostname / pwd / env / id
and see if you can see a pattern.

Sorry I haven't any other ideas why you would sometimes get a useful env
