That was my plan.

My code to set this information was still not being called quite early enough, so the table didn't contain a value for my variable when mail_user_expand_plugins_envs() was called. I've rejigged it some more, and now it is indeed working.

The extra argument getting passed to mail_filter is taken from data the client sends to the IMAP server -- so I needed to be able to pull it out of the IMAP session and pass it to the mail_filter script.
