OK, this problem is gone with the latest beta. The problem with the wrong value 
of TEXMFHOME persists. In a pristine texmfcnf.lua, this is set (l. 25)

TEXMFHOME       = "~/texmf-home", -- "tree:///~/texmf

for mkii, however, it is set in texmf.cnf (l. 31)

TEXMFHOME     = $HOME/texmf

why these two different values? I consider texmf-home as wrong. 

Moreover, when I set this to a sane value

TEXMFHOME       = "/Users/tas/texmf", -- "tree:///~/texmf

and then re-run mtxrun --generate, I get this error:

MTXrun |
MTXrun | fileio: scanning path 'tree:////Users/tas/texmf'
/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun:9094: cannot open 
tree:////Users/tas/texmf/: No such file or directory

I have no idea what the notation 'tree:////' is supposed to do. 
/Users/tas/texmf does indeed exist and works with the beta before the scripts 
were changed. So I'm somewhat stymied.
