I am assuming such problems can be avoided by checking for the
existence of of $ENV{HOME} before faking it.

Hmm, I thought that this would be clear without saying... Sorry!

However, this means that the check and the decision as
to whether to fake $ENV{HOME} should not be done at install time but
each time a script is run.

Each time the interpreter starts.

Looks like my post was a little redundant but thanks for the
acknowledgement.
