I had the exact same problem, and this is how I fixed it...
Change to this:


tester/Makefile:
#export
#THINGIE="test thingie"

all:
#        echo $(THINGIE)
        $(MAKE) THINGIE="test thingie" -C sub


tester/sub/Makefile:
export
all:
        echo $(THINGIE)
        $(MAKE) THINGIE="test thingie" -C sub

tester/sub/sub/Makefile:
export
all:
        echo $(THINGIE)
        $(MAKE) THINGIE="test thingie" -C sub

tester/sub/sub/sub/Makefile:
export
all:
        echo $(THINGIE)
