Okay so it does look like a bug then ,raised 3 years ago and it's not
just me doing something stupid with my setup, configuration or
Jenkinsfile.
I was already doing the hardcoded workaround in the Jenkinsfile, but
then spotted the "Custom user name/e-mail address" option so wanted to
switch to that so it was no longer hard coded in the Jenkinsfile but
controlled by the Jenkins job.
I was even fine with having to add this to each Jenkinsfile to work
around it not setting local git config.
sh '''
git config user.email "${GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL}"
git config user.name "${GIT_COMMITTER_NAME}"
'''
