See if any of your startup files are setting it. A non-interactive "sh" invocation may produce a different environment than the one you use interactively in your terminal.

    % grep IFS ~/.*profile ~/.*rc

For kicks, you could try this, although I don't expect it to work, given what we've seen so far:

    % sh -c 'echo -n $IFS | hexdump'
