Nope, that's merely what the docs claim. In fact, the security geeks
decided sudo absolutely needed to have a hard coded PATH and as far
as I know the only way to fix that is to rebuild it from source. It
has been like this for a while now.

Maybe you could create an alias that runs sudo env PATH=$PATH "$@"
or something to sneak the path back into the sudo'ed command...
