This is not a bug in Emacs or Gnus. You must export the variable to
the child process (= emacs21 in your case) of the shell. See the bash
manual:
,----[ (info "(bash)Bourne Shell Builtins") ]
| `export'
| export [-fn] [-p] [NAME[=VALUE]]
| Mark each NAME to be passed to child processes in the environment.

I'd prefer this way anyhow.
