I can't answer that for the 'LOGNAME' environment variable on non-Windows 
systems, I was just keying off of what the docs claimed. As for Windows, I just 
came across this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273633 that shows we 
can not rely on this in the test.  

I only put those environment variables in the test because I thought this test 
was a little weak (what else can we do?)

    user_name = os.getlogin()
    self.assertNotEqual(0, len(user_name))

Even though %USERNAME% == os.getlogin() MOST of the time. It should be removed 
from the test.
