I won't have time to investigate more now, here are my latest results:
  * main_memory.pdfxmltex is ignored, but this value can be changed
    via main_memory.pdflatex.
  * As told in texmf.cnf comments, main_memory values are used when
    building format files, so one must rebuild format files after
    changing these values.
  * 'fmtutil --all' has to be run twice (I guess that pdflatex.fmt is
    updated during first pass, then pdfxmltex.fmt).
