This is a reasonable question and I could be persuaded that our getenv() =
implementation should not set errno (even though it has for twenty =
years).  If anyone knows about whether the standard changed at some =
point or whether setting errno was common for getenv() before it was =
standardized not to, that would be helpful.

Everything else in your post simply ignores the documentation and the =
explanations I've already given you.  I don't really have anything to =
add.
