Yes, that's correct.

Interesting, this produces the correct output.
Login : ${PS1} $ $ (Wrong)
su-root : [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/user]# (Correct)
su-user : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ (Correct)
exit : [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/user]# (Correct)
exit : ${PS1} $ $ (Wrong)
This does not really jive with what I read in the man pages. It said
that .bash_login is invoked during login, while .bashrc is used when an
interactive shell that is not a login shell is started. Currently I do
not even have a .bashrc defined, so the only thing that should be
getting used is .bash_profile. Why does su invoke .bash_profile?
The relevant entries from /etc/password are:
root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/usr/local/bin/bash
user:*:1001:0:User &:/home/user:/usr/local/bin/bash
I would try adding the prompt to .bashrc too, worst case it will redefine
it the same prompt making login take a fraction longer.
Also be sure:
/home/user
is owned by user and has the correct group too.
By the way, if the man pages are out of sync, it wouldn't be the first time.
