I ran into this too! Thanks for posting this workaround.

I filed an issue here: aws/aws-cli#2638

We are calling update-function-configuration from an npm script and ran into issues around quotes.
I thought I would share the eventual thing that worked.
Note the single quotes around the $npm_config vars.

    "postsync": "aws lambda update-function-configuration --function-name $npm_config_lambda --environment '{\"Variables\":{\"envtype\":\"'$npm_config_envtype'\",\"domain\":\"'$npm_config_domain'\"}}'"
