Yes, that must be it -- I initially thought it could not be, because
fish also found commands I had in ~/bin, but it turns out I was
running a self-compiled fish which must have PREFIX=~ set. In the
mean time, fish has been installed as a package, but I had not
switched to that version yet.

Thank you. I was able to restore my universal variables from an older
fishd.* file. (The file is from April 28, I do not think I
consciously changed anything since then.)
Here is what I found:
$ lt .config/fish/fishd*

In the version with size 1157, everything except for some color
variables is deleted. I have no idea how that happened, or why those
few variables were spared.
