--- Comment #1 from Darxus <darxus at chaosreigns.com> ---
I'm not sure why exactly this happens, and krh did say:

14:29 < krh> maybe we could preserve the launch time environment in the
non-root child process (ie weston)

But the build instructions do tell you how to deal with this: 
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html

If you are using a distro that does not set $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for you, do:

    $ mkdir /tmp/wayland
    $ chmod 0700 /tmp/wayland
    $ su -c 'echo XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/wayland >> /etc/environment'


(This uses pam.)
