Hmm, It seems to not be what you uploaded in practice... which stands to reason, since in fact no, the pre-start script cannot export environment variables to the main process (for standard unixy reasons - upstart doesn't do anything magical here to try to tie the process environments together, so when the pre-start script exits, its environment goes with it. This could be documented better).
