Wrong:

mkdir -p /home/georg/tmp/semi\;colon/tex
export TEXMFLOCAL=/home/georg/tmp/semi\;colon/
kpsewhich --show-path=.tex
.:/home/georg/.texmf-config/tex/kpsewhich//:/home/georg/.texmf-var/tex/kpsewhich//:/home/georg/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:/etc/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/var/lib/texmf/tex/kpsewhich//:!!/home/georg/tmp/semi;colon//tex/kpsewhich//
  
(and more paths which I snipped)

I admit that this case is not a very likely case, but I don't want to 
exchange a possible failure on windows with a possible failure on unix.
