This pipe is something of a Rube Goldberg device.  Why not pass the
variable directly:

chroot $ROOT /usr/bin/env PS1="(chrooted to $HOST) $PS1" bash

In fact I think I see a problem with your way: the chrooted shell sees a
command like

export PS1=You have chrooted into 'eden' from root

which obviously cannot work.  (No clue if that is why it breaks for
Thelma, and no clue why it works for you :P)
