Yes: ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/

I believe these are part of the texlive specs, so it is probably reasonable
to support hardcoded values for these but not others.

This is what I was missing. Everything works if I
(setq reftex-use-external-file-finders t)
so this is a viable (and reasonable) workaround. The only thing remaining that
might be
a bug is that `reftex-default-bibliography` is ignored when multiple bib files
are specified.
