"Finicky" won't help other people to learn what to avoid making the same mistake in the future. Please spell the problem out more explicitly.

I think the issue is that some shells do not like the "Run this command (and only this command) under these environment variable settings"

	VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 command

if "command" is a shell function.

Does that match your understanding of the problem?
