I ran into the same issue a few days ago and eventually found my to
the same solution. About the 'some reason': I noticed that without
the fix, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The answer is the
damn database file (the ls-R). kpathsea searches in 'directory
order', which you can find with 'ls -U'. So
ls -U ~/texmf/fonts/map/
gave me pdfetex, dvips, then dvipdfm, and I couldn't understand why
anyway the dvipdfm file was being found ahead of the pdfetex one (even
without the $progname). The answer is that the ls-R file is listed
in, well, ls -R order, which is not necessarily directory order. It's
probably alphabetical. So dvipdfm is ahead of pdfetex. Getting rid
of the ls-R means the pdfetex map file is found (good), but it can
easily change back if some script makes a new ls-R (so it's not
robust).
Short version: Do the recommended fix.
