To be more elaborate.
Imagine my box has system-specific stuff in /system/, in a flat model
(libs, sbin's, bin's, config-files all flat out in /system/).

The superuser's path (and eventually library path) is set to /system/

See how hardcoding /sbin/ isn't a good idea and how it's the superuser's
duty to set the path to system binaries properly..

In my POV #815 is a config issue of that specific user and nothing we
should (and can!) take care of..
