This has yet been corrected in the last change before 2.0.2-21, from
ViewCVS:

-if ! grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF' $ETXMFC | grep VARTEXMF >/dev/null; then
+if ! grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF[[:space:]]*=' $ETXMFC | grep VARTEXMF >/dev/null; then
   # VARTEXMF is not in TEXMF
-  if ! grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF' $ETXMFC | grep TEXMFMAIN >/dev/null; then
+  if ! grep '^[[:space:]]*TEXMF[[:space:]]*=' $ETXMFC | grep TEXMFMAIN >/dev/null; then
