Is there a way to avoid that? I can, of course, set different values of TEXMFCACHE for both distributions, but does it make sense to to use a different hash (5fe67e...) for the two?

Why do you set TEXMFCACHE and not simply keep separate texmf-cache directories under your lmtx and mkiv CONTEXTROOT directories?

I install both mkiv and lmtx at /opt/... so that the installations can be shared by multiple users. TEXMFCACHE needs to be writable by the user, so the natural choice is to set TEXMFCACHE to $HOME/texmf-cache. Aditya
