Hi Hilmar,
You're absolutely right, thanks for having a look and sorry for the
noise. Trying to go too fast was a bad idea yet another time. :)
I've straced the build and the file seems generated and I see some
interesting things. I've heavily edited the output because the original
is already 11M.
Command:
strace --decode-fds=all --no-abbrev --decode-pids=all -tt -f -o log -s 4096

The file is created and written to but it's in
"/build/therion-oW9QKw/therion-6.2.1/build/thbook" rather than
"/tmp/mt646779.tmp" where mktexpk expects it to be.
Note that while running the commands directly myself, it seems I managed
to generate the file in an expected location and I was getting an error
about logo10.720gf rather than .600gf.
Several environment variables refer to the first directory: KPSE_DOT,
TEXINPUTS, OLDPWD, TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.
For TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, I've found the following:

I'll stop there as now I'm definitely out of time for today.
