This happens after fmtutil calls
etex -ini -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini
This *looks* as if 'jadetex.ini' has been updated to the new form, while
the fmtutil.cnf snippets have not. Either because these are conffiles
and the local admins did not accept the change (not a bug), or because
the most recent jadetex upload missed that change (jadetex bug).
However, Frans and Sean, please answer these questions:

Then I can stop guessing ...
BTW, did anybody see the original bug report via the mailing list?
