Just in case someone else comes across this issue, on my setup it was traced back to the .pc subdirectory. Removing it fixed it.

I had started a new patchfile before setting the environmental variable, and after setting it quilt was still looking in the wrong place due to work it was leaving in the .pc directory.

Maybe this will help someone searching for the same behavior.
