That doesn't look very informative:

murphy:/# mkdir /tmp/bugtest
murphy:/# cd /tmp/bugtest/
murphy:/tmp/bugtest# echo $XDVIINPUTS

murphy:/tmp/bugtest# XDVIINPUTS=':/usr/share/texmf/{xdvi,web2c}' kpsewhich  -progname=xdvi --format='other text files' XDvi
murphy:/tmp/bugtest# XDVIINPUTS="$XDVIINPUTS":'$TEXMF/{xdvi,web2c}' kpsewhich  -progname=xdvi --format='other text files' XDvi
murphy:/tmp/bugtest# ls -l
insgesamt 0
murphy:/tmp/bugtest#

No output, no files created. Did I misunderstand you?
