Ah. Some strace and gdb later, the culprit was my .xinitrc file. It said
XDG_CACHE_HOME="{$HOME}/.cache"
which evaluated to {/home/mik}/.cache and things just went sideways
from there. I fixed the errant {} and things are much happier now.
Now I need to figure out why my .xinitrc was setting those.
