The way we've handled this in the past has been to build TORQUE with the
--disable-shell-pipe and --enable-shell-use-argv options to configure.
That causes the job shell to act more or less like a login shell.

AFAIK prologue and epilogue don't share environment settings with the
job's shell.  I'm not sure about prologue.user and epilogue.user, but I
suspect they are the same way.
