Actually, I just tested this on a domain member machine.

1) I'm logged in with an administrative domain account.  If I open
   a shell with "run as administrator", LOGONSERVER is set correctly.

2) I'm logged in with a non-admin domain account.  If I open a
   shell with "run as administrator", enter credentials for the
   above domain admin account, LOGONSERVER is set correctly.

3) I'm logged in with a non-admin domain account.  If I open a
   shell with "run as administrator", enter credentials for the
   domain's "Administrator" account, LOGONSERVER is *not* set.

4) I'm logged in with a non-admin domain account.  If I open a
   shell with "run as administrator", enter credentials for the
   local machine's "Administrator" account, LOGONSERVER is *not*
   set.

I think this is a bug, but looks like we have to live with that.
Alternatively we could check for $USERDOMAIN, perhaps.  This seems
to be set correctly in all scenarios.
