Hi Günter,
sorry for my blatant ignorance, I am using RESTXQ over REST so regularly, that
I almost forgot about the actual REST-Servlet!
Still I encourage you to go with fetch:xml(); so if you changed it from:
> let $tokens := fetch:xml("tokens.xml")//entry
To:
> let $tokens := fetch:xml(„relative/to/.basex-home/tokens.xml")//entry
With `fetch:xml` in contrast to `doc()` it should work consistently across all
modes of operation (REST, RestXQ, BaseX Standalone).

I am not really sure when the behavior of `doc` in the REST servlet changed,
but a commit between 8.5.4 and 8.6 must have introduced this change.
`RESTPATH` is used to define the location of the XQuery files ran via the
`?run=`-Parameter, but it does not change the base uri of the static context.
Hope this won’t cause too much trouble with your codebase.
Best

Btw. You are not the first one to encounter the intricacies of the doc()
function: https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1435
