It's likely that LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't work at all for setuid/setguid
binaries. On Linux at least, ld.so ignores LD_LIBRARY_PATH for such
executables. If it didn't you'd be able to substitute libc and other
libraries a dynamically linked setuid executable uses which would be
quite a huge security hole. I'm not sure how this is handled on other
systems, though.
