Well the first time I tried to pdflatex something after a tlmgr update,
I got the familiar missing font messages, so I did updmap and it
immediately bailed telling me that tcfmgr.map couldn't be found (I can't
recall the exact message). At this point I looked at my updmap.cfg and
realized most of my additions had gone missing. After copying tcfmgr.map
to wherever I was and restoring updmap.cfg from backup, I'm again in
business. And now updmap seems to work without needing a local copy of
tcfmgr.map. All very mysterious.
