I am in a production environment under 8.04, and we upgrade annually, so
I will not be able to answer this question.  However, it should be
pretty obvious from looking at the preinstall script to see whether
someone deliberately has unset all the TeX-related environment
variables.  These include:

TEXFONTS
TEXINPUTS
BIBINPUTS
BSTINPUTS
DVIPSFONTS

among others.  Have you looked at them?  I report bugs, to help improve
the system for everyone, but I don't know how to access the sources.
