Update isn't going to satisfy everyone because people want it to do
incompatible things.  However, I don't think this is one of the things it
should be able to do.

In general the environment of a formula is used to look up variables in
the formula, not the data= argument.  (It's also used to look up the
weights= and subset= arguments, but that is a horrible wart that we would
like to excise).
