--- Comment #1 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
Works as designed.

become, through sudo, creates an interactive login shell.  To quote from the
bash info page:

" When Bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
  non-interactive shell with the `--login' option, it first reads and
  executes commands from the file `/etc/profile', if that file exists.
  After reading that file, it looks for `~/.bash_profile',
  `~/.bash_login', and `~/.profile', in that order, and reads and
  executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable."

A thing many users may want to do to simplify things is to have a ~/.profile
that sources ~/.bashrc (in addition or instead of login-specific behaviour) so
that the latter gets sourced regardless of how the shell was invoked.
