I know, it's bad form to follow up to my own email, but here's a more
concrete reference stating that emacs will set HOME  when emacs
starts: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Windows-HOME.html

"[Wherever Emacs finds your .emacs file], Emacs sets the value of the
HOME environment variable to point to it, and it will use that
location for other files and directories it normally creates in the
user's home directory. "
