oh, right, that makes sense... I knew I was missing something rather obvious. :/ (I shouldn't have just skimmed the manpage after all... I missed it b/c I was only looking for the word "interactive", which isn't in that paragraph)
But what I'm still not quite getting is, what's the difference of pacman being run by sudo vs. directly? Shouldn't bash also think the sockets were remote if pacman is not run using sudo?
But it probably can detect somehow that it runs inside a interactive zsh when pacman is run directly, while there is no shell running between sudo and pacman when running it using sudo... or something like that.
Well mystery somewhat solved, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I'd guess it's because it also checks for $SHLVL < 2.
