I have confirmed the symptoms described in this bug report:

mykerinos login: tintin TEST=HOP
Password:                          <<<<correct password
Login incorrect

mykerinos login: tintin
Password:                          <<<<correct password too
Linux mykerinos 2.6.9-1-686 #1 Thu Nov 25 03:48:29 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
You have mail.
tintin@mykerinos:/home/tintin$ 

And, as mentioned in the bug report, te env var passing at the login
prompt is advertised in the login(1) man page)
