This is really not necessary. I also reproduced it with bash.

Thank you for your attention.
I tried to reproduce it exactly as you did and notice strange thing.
You use "sudo tmux attach" and tmux client uses the terminal created
for regular user and those works good.

But if you will use "ssh root@server" (you can use localhost too) the
"tmux attach" will use terminal created from root (i checked this with
lsof and ls -al /dev/pts) and behavior is different. Are terminals
created for root is somehow different from those created for regular
users?

If you can't use root ssh login I will try to reproduce it's for sudo by
mixing some kind of dtach and tmux but it will be very unclear at the
end.
