I don't know whether it confuses teTeX 3.0, it's just one piece that
contributes to the puzzle... What could in fact cause confusion is if
you *now* use both upmap and updmap-sys, creating different information
in TEXMFVAR and TEXMFSYSVAR.

This is bug #294197, this time not for ls-R but for .texmf-var. I was
under the illusion that we patched updmap sufficiently to prevent it
from doing this...

That sounds like a good approach. Additionally, since

I suggest that you also ask on de.comp.text.tex or similar for help;
especially when there are also some problems with the manually installed
teTeX-3.0.
