I don't think that's the reason - and I know that texdoc (both the
standard version and the diverted one from luatex) search for gzipped
files. If you type
texdoc pgfmanual
you get the manual, it's unzipped on the fly. Only
$ texdoc.notluatex pgf
Can't find documentation for `pgf'
$
doesn't work, since this syntax requires a complete filename (with or
without extension).
$ texdoc.notluatex -s pgf
/usr/share/texmf/doc/pgf/pgfmanual.pdf.gz
finds the right file (and the luatex version does nearly the same, just
much faster).
