qmail's sendmail emulation isn't absolutely completely compatible with
everything that sendmail does. It's possible that the script is expecting
some of the less standardized behavior.

qmail-inject(8) says:
The user name in the From header field is set by QMAILUSER, MAILUSER,
USER, or LOGNAME, whichever comes first.
[...]
The default envelope sender address is the same as the default From
address, but it can be overridden with QMAILSUSER and QMAILSHOST. It
may also be modified by the r and m letters described below. Bounces
will be sent to this address.
The sendmail emulation invokes (I believe) qmail-inject. I know from
experience that if none of QMAILUSER, MAILUSER, USER, or LOGNAME are set,
qmail will set the envelope sender to anonymous@hostname. I'm not sure
where this is documented (or if it is; the string "anonymous" appears
nowhere in the qmail documentation).
qmail-1.03/qmail-inject.c has the relevant code:
mailuser = env_get("QMAILUSER");
if (!mailuser) mailuser = env_get("MAILUSER");
if (!mailuser) mailuser = env_get("USER");
if (!mailuser) mailuser = env_get("LOGNAME");
if (!mailuser) mailuser = "anonymous";
