Interesting ... that is generated with
	kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFMAIN
Can you please show me the output of the above line on your system?

Do you have files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/*

That looks like a consequence of the above, let us for now not investigate
this further.

Best wishes

Good call.  It looks like a setting of /usr/share/texmf accidentally
leaked through from the outer environment (mostly running testing); for
some reason I've forgotten by now, my dotfiles have historically
arranged to export the default setting explicitly.  Suppressing that
setting allowed configuration to succeed, so I'll close this ticket as
PEBCAK ;-).  Sorry for the false alarm!
