This is now fixed on the core-updates branch.  Note that it should not
be a problem that pdftex.map cannot be found.  The PDF file gets
generated just fine.

Personally, I always use lualatex (which was broken by a weird syntax
error caused by unpacking ltluatex.dtx in texlive-latex-base).

I was able to compile your document as well as my older documents with
lualatex.
