I'm aware that the instructions for install-tl-unx begin:

tar -xf install-tl-unx.tar.gz &&
cd install-tl-<CCYYMMDD>

because the installer will get updated from time to time during the
2014 texlive year, and this presumably breaks jhalfs.

 But I've just had a thought: normally, we assume that the user has
untarred the package and changed into the created directory.
Mostly, the directory name bears a relationship to the tarball name,
but there are exceptions (e.g. firefox -> mozilla-release).

 How about if I remove those initial unstructions ?  Will that help
users of e.g. jhalfs ?  Is there something _so_different_ about
install-tl-unx that we ought to tell people to untar it and change
to the directory ?

 My gut feeling is that those commands were initially put in when
the binary and the source were on one page, and they should have
been removed when somebody separated the pages (/me whistles and
tries to look innocent).
