The reason for this weird behavior is that we removed almost all the variables from setuptex back in May 2009.
This is just the contrary of what Hans tried to achieve several years ago to overwrite the tetex's pollution with variables. Now that hardly anyone uses tetex ... we didn't bother about that any more, but it is still a problem if one sets up an old distribution in .bashrc and then tries to use a new one. (In that case the old ConTeXt behaves just as impolitely as tetex and hinders the ability to use the latest one.)
so, maybe we can add an extra script that resets these variables?
I would prefer to leave an option to users to set those variables themselves (at least to those who know what they are doing). Mojca
