Well, _this_ is the problem!  If the profile (which you execute at
entering the shell (after the environment is created)) contains this
assignment then that's what you'll get.
 
If you delete this export from the profile _and_ set the CI variable
then you will get the results I intended.

Of course, since you're using /etc/profile, it _might_ be better to
just fix it there and be done with it...
