It's read by pam_env. /etc/pam.d/lightdm is using that in the same position as /etc/pam.d/gdm, but perhaps lightdm's PAM communication is different such that environment variables set at the auth stage are thrown away by the time it gets to starting a session; it might be productive to try moving pam_env from auth to session?
