Correct.

That should be easy to trace. Assuming that your format files are created
by fmtutil in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c, just look at the file
latex.log in that directory. Maybe, some unwanted files have been loaded
(by traces of a different installation, e.g. TEXMFCNF variable, TEXINPUTS
variable, etc.).

A guess: you could have some TEXINPUTS variable like this:
TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXMF/tex//:/some/thing/else
That would be wrong, because latex needs to look at texmf/tex/generic
before the rest of texmf/tex. There are duplicates in the texmf/tex tree, e.g.
tex/cslatex/hyphen.cfg
tex/generic/babel/hyphen.cfg
tex/platex/config/hyphen.cfg
Only with the correct search paths, the formats will be created correctly.

Again, this looks like a broken latex format. Maybe, you just need to
recreate the format after unsetting some wrong variables.
Maybe, calling
texconfig conf
gives you a hint.
