Surely you'd run a script as part of your task to make sure it was all set correctly? This just seems like a bad setup.

If you thought you were reloading the dev environment database, and found out you just reloaded your production database, you would be surprised too. And you would probably wonder why after setting the dev variables, the tmux shell didn't have them.

It's one of those rare gotchas that will bite someone in the ass. And it will hurt. And when it does, you'll swear like a mother f'er.
