After a lot of tests, I found the origin of the problem:
- I had a custom texmfcache dir set in my .bashrc file:
  > export TEXMFCACHE="${HOME}/.texmf-var"
- I certainly changed by mistake the acces rights of this texmfcache
  dir so it was write/read/execute protected.

So I change the acces rights of the dir and ran 'mtxrun --generate'
again and this solved everything. Maybe this can help to add checks for
this case.

Again thanks for your help.

PS: I agree with Thomas that the mkii and mkiv split is a really good
thing (however, I wonder why first-setup.sh installs the mkii dir when
called with --engine=luatex…)

All the best.
