That's weird.

Normally this envvar is set by pam_systemd, so take a look at
/etc/pam.d/systemd-user and see if it calls the pam_systemd module, either
directly or via "include"/"substack"...

(I don't know exactly how Fedora's PAM configuration looks like, but I
think 'systemd-user' is supposed to include either 'system-auth' or
'system-login'.)
