Good question.  But there is an answer, and looks like it was a conscious 
decision, committed back in January:

http://sources.debian.net/src/systemd/232-23/debian/changelog/?hl=293

"* debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Rename _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT.
    Rename _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT to SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT to be more
    consistent with other environment variables which are used internally by
    systemd, like SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_SYSV."
