The plugin would be more universal if it supported setting (hence passing them between steps) environment variables from step scripts using CLI interface ( https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Writing+CLI+commands ). Something like this:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar [-s JENKINS_URL] set-env-var -b BUILD_TAG -p VAR1=VAL1 -p VAR2=VAL2
IMHO it's a wrong component. Build user vars just provides info about user who started the build. Maybe it's a case for EnvInject plugin or other such plugin.
