init script is at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=openstack-nova.init&package=openstack-nova&project=Cloud%3AOpenStack%3AFolsom

The init script uses startproc (which is the SUSE equivalent of LSB's start_daemon) which just sets the UID to the openstack-nova UID but unlike sudo or su does not set $HOME

btw: Debians equivalent works the same:
daemon --user nobody -- bash -c 'echo $HOME > /tmp/foo'
cat /tmp/foo
/root
