This was it.

Here's the original relevant part of my sites.xml:

<pool handle="Abe-GT4">
  <gridftp url="gsiftp://gridftp-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org:2811/" />
  <execution provider="gt4" jobmanager="fork"
  url="https://grid-abe.ncsa.teragrid.org:8443/wsrf/services/ManagedJobFactoryService"/>
  <workdirectory>/u/ac/fedorov/scratch-global/scratch</workdirectory>
</pool>

In the globusrun-ws test I used "pbs" jobmanager. This makes a big
difference. I assume, environment is initialized differently for fork
jobs than for pbs jobs. When I repeat the globusrun test with fork
provider, I have the same problem, so it's obviously not Swift.

After substituting jobmanager from fork to pbs in sites.xml, Swift
works as expected.

Thank you for helping to figure this out!
