I suppose that works ok in mkii, but maybe not in mkiv

You're wrong, it will only work when you enable the dvi/dvips backend.
not so sure
by default
\executesystemcommand{texexec \bufferprefix\@@texapp.tex --once --batch}%
(line 151 on page-app.tex) gives a dvi file
(
\executesystemcommand{texexec --pdf \bufferprefix\@@texapp.tex --once --batch}%
gives a pdf
)
