Me too. As you might know, this was forwarded to upstream

Do you mean
+TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFOLDLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
should be something like
+TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOLDLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
?? Well, my fingers had moved without my permission...
Does !!$TEXMFOLDLOCAL, which might not exist in normal cases
and only there for backward compatibility, cause no problem?
