Description

The usual style with /etc/defaults/... is to set but not export variables, leaving it to the calling script to manage environment variables.

The "fuseki" script does not export FUSEKI_HOME and FUSEKI_BASE so the settings do not progate to the exec'ed java process.

The script and the java default happen to be the same which hides the issue much of the time. The service script should always export these two variables.

Workaround:
In /etc/default/fuseki, export FUSEKI_HOME and FUSEKI_BASE, not just set them.
