Yup.

because e.g. the path will be different for different users connecting.

No, the var %USER% won't be different in the daemon because no client
environment variables affect a daemon (and you didn't mention anything
about running a daemon-over-ssh connection, where the $USER would be
whomever ssh-ed into the host to start the single-use daemon).  The only
exceptions to this are the RSYNC_* variables that rsync itself sets for
each connection (such as %RSYNC_USER_NAME%, which is the authorizing user).

But this 'delayed expansion' isn't done anywhere in the code

Sure it is.  It's in all the FN_GLOBAL_STRING() and FN_LOCAL_STRING()
expansions.  Otherwise none of the RSYNC_* vars would work.
