This morning, when I try to run texexec, texmfstart gets stuck in the
loop at line 262.
Placing
puts f
below line 266 ( f.gsub(...) do
prints:
$TEXROOT/texmf/{-local,}/web2c/texmf.cnf
(over and over again)
Mine doesn't seem to enter this loop -- nothing is printed.   The
above line looks
like the entry from texsetup with an extra "/":
set TEXMFCNF=%TEXPATH%texmf{-local,}/web2c
What I did is copy setuptex to /etc/profile.d/setuptex.sh and then 
hard coded the value of TEXROOT in setuptex.sh instead of having the 
script set it from the command line argument.
echo $TEXMFCNF prints
$TEXROOT/texmf{-local,}/web2c
i'm puzzled because the loop you mentioned is not supposed to be entered 
unless you run texmfstart as a kpseserver

do you use the latest versions of texmfstart etc?
