I wanted to fix this (add an automatic correction for the trailing /)
for the final release (after this came up in the beta test), but I have
forgotten to do this. Sorry.

I have no idea, why. See this:

$ if :; then WEB2C=invalid texlinks; fi; echo $?
texlinks: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
1

$ if :; then TEXCONFIGINPUTS=invalid fmtutil-sys --all; fi; echo $?
tcfmgr: config file `tcfmgr.map' (usually in $TEXMFMAIN/texconfig) not found.
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
1

This means that for me, both comands fail properly and should give you
a make failiure. I have no idea why this did not happen for you. I'd be
grateful to improve this with your help.
