This morning, when I try to run texexec, texmfstart gets stuck in the 
loop at line 262.
you mean:

        loop do
            busy = false
            filenames.collect! do |f|
                f.gsub(/\$([a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]*)/o) do
                    busy = true
                    ENV[$1] || ("$#{$1}")
                end
            end
            break unless busy
        end

can you try: 

        loop do
            busy = false
            filenames.collect! do |f|
                f.gsub(/\$([a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]*)/o) do
                    busy = true
puts "#{f} => #{ENV[$1]}" 
                    ENV[$1] || ("$#{$1}")
                end
            end
            break unless busy
        end

and see what is reported
