[JIRA] (JENKINS-45916) Path is not getting set correctly in pipeline when there is a variable present

Title: Message Title

The environment clause appears to be ignored by plugins executing code such as the following,

 
                                                                EnvVars vars = build.getEnvironment(listener);

My current work-around is to define hard-coded default values for the pipeline "parameters", even for the agent "master" which runs on the same machine with the server...

 
                                                                    agent {
        label 'master'
    }
    
    parameters {
        string(name: 'FORTIFY_HOME', defaultValue: "/MYTOOLDIR/fortify", 
            description: 'A work-around to the plugin using FORTIFY_HOME of the Jenkins server instead of that of the agent')
        string(name: 'PATH', defaultValue: 
            "/MYTOOLDIR/fortify/bin:/usr/local/FOO/bin:/usr/local/openjdk-8/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin", 
            description: 'A work-around to the plugin using PATH of the Jenkins server instead of that of the agent')
    }
 
                                                            

I wish Jenkins in general its plugins in particular gave precendence to the agent's environment. I did not try to find the exact API to fetch that in the context of the plugin running on the server but aiming the given "agent".
