On further inspection, I see that login(1) is not being called,
but login(3) seems to be.  The shell in use shouldn't matter,
because the shell itself should be run under the user's limits.

Yes, you're right.

Indeed.  There are some limits that aren't implemented, but if the
users can change a limit, that's not what's happening here.  Of
course, users can always *lower* their limits, and they can raise
their soft limits up to a maximum of the hard limit (that's what
the distinction is for).
