It probably has to with how /usr/bin/env and gmake are called. See this example:

> /usr/bin/env -i FOO=bar /opt/csw/bin/gmake -f <( echo -e 'a:\n\t at if [ -n "$(FOO)" ]; then echo "FOO has a value"; else echo "FOO has no value"; fi' )
FOO has a value
> /usr/bin/env -i FOO=bar && /opt/csw/bin/gmake -f <( echo -e 'a:\n\t at if [ -n "$(FOO)" ]; then echo "FOO has a value"; else echo "FOO has no value"; fi' )
FOO=bar
FOO has no value
