I tried wily with

# apt-cache policy linux-image-4.2.0-25-generic
linux-image-4.2.0-25-generic:
  Installed: 4.2.0-25.30
  Candidate: 4.2.0-25.30
  Version table:
 *** 4.2.0-25.30 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

And was able to to reproduce. I guess on wily /bin/sh might drop EUID for security reasons, I think bash is doing that.
