My impression is, that FAI does not forget the home dir, it was never
set at all. I can see a lot of processes from root on my system, that
are running without having $HOME set. HOME is normally set by a login
process. Since the fai script is started by dracut, it seems that the
HOME is never set inside dracut. My impression is, that this is a
default dehaviour. You can define variables in class/*.var files. This
should also work for HOME.
