Non-standard indeed. One has to edit config-top.h by hand (SYS_BASHRC) to enable the functionality. Debian have started doing this too. It certainly is a potential hole for unwanted stuff to leak into the build environment on the affected hosts.. tho' most settings I've seen in there to date are fairly tame and unlikely to affect the build. Victor's suggestions on how to fix may well be plausible, but they'd need to be tested on a wide range of hosts before implementing them. The current method is already a bit kludgey.. it could end up even kludgier...
