That would lead me to believe a uname call is in the template
/etc/skel/.bash_profile.  But I looked and could not find it on my
systems.  I can't reproduce that behavior.

I realize this is getting off topic for coreutils but can you track
this down and say where the uname call actually is located?  And what
version of the package which contains it that you have installed?

Thanks
