A little tinkering later, I discovered that if I remove $MAKETEX_MODE
in the line
PKFONTS = .;{$TEXMF/fonts,$VARTEXFONTS}/pk/{$MAKETEX_MODE,modeless}//
in texmf.cnf, or replace $MAKETEX_MODE by /, the problems go away.
Apparently, that variable is not set the way it should on my system.
Any ideas on why this might be?
