poudriere 3.4.0 regression: -i runs as NON_ROOT user

I posted an issue on the poudriere github a few weeks ago but have not 
gotten any feedback so let me ask the question here; is it now expected 
that "poudriere -i" is supposed to run as a non-root user when normal 
poudriere bulk builds run as root?

Here's the github issue:

     https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/issues/1100

The appended is the way I have debugged ports ever since I first learned 
how to use poudriere 7 years ago. Now I have to take the additional step 
of using jexec to get a root shell in the jail otherwise bsd.port.mk 
thinks UID = 0 and tries to chown/chmod things which doesn't work when 
it's actually running as nobody...
