When systemd parses user.conf it does not resolve env vars in the shel $foo syntax. In fact we don't do that for almost any field, except ExecStart= and friends really. We could probably at least open up DefaultEnvironment= to specifier expansion, so that %t would work the same way as in unit files. I added a TODO list item for this now.
