Did you try nesting more than one "su -"? The first one after a boot works for me - every other one fails. I'm on RH71 - this may be specific to this release. It's also kernel-dependent, I can reboot with ac5 and the problem does not happen. The kernel is compiled with the same compiler as yours.
My libc is 2.2.2 while yours is 2.1.3 - this may be the difference.
