Strangely, it worked with 1.5.3.8. But I just tried to reproduce it and now I can't, so there must have been some error in my procedure. Doh. The bizarre thing is that in preparing these emails I tested it at least twice, which means I must have made the exact same mistake at least twice...

That works. Thanks.

It's an acceptable workaround (the other is installing /usr instead of /usr/local). Seeing as it worked in 1.5.3.8, does this qualify as breakage, or should we not worry about it?
