Sorry if this has been fixed for 1.3.4, but in the manpge for mpirun in 1.3.3 I noticed the following in the "MCA" section of the manpage:

Note: The -mca switch is simply a shortcut for setting environment variables. The same effect may be accomplished by setting corresponding environment variables before running mpirun. The form of the environment variables that Open MPI sets are:
            OMPI_<key>=<value>

However, as <key> is defined the env var one must set is actually

            OMPI_MCA_<key>=<value>
