Think I figured out the problem. Ubuntu doesn't look at /etc/profile--that's why I wasn't getting PYTHONSTARTUP, even when I didn't use --plain. Moving my export PYTHONSTARTUP line to /etc/bash.bashrc worked.
So the issue now is that shell --plain doesn't use PYTHONSTARTUP, which both Deryck and I think it should. :-) I've modified the ticket to reflect the real state of affairs.
