Ah, you're right and I just realized what happened.  

'ctxtools --updatecontext' calls unzip with -uo:

       -u  update existing files and create new ones if needed.  This
           option performs the same function as the -f option,
           extracting (with query) files that are newer than those
           with the same name on disk, and in addition it extracts
           those files that do not already exist on disk.  See -f
           above for information on setting the timezone properly.

I'd been hacking with tex.rb (debugging the --dvi switch) so my tex.rb
was more recent than the one in cont-tmf.zip, so it wasn't updated.

Is it important to have -u?  I'd take the -u switch out of my own
ctxtools.rb but then it'll eventually get overwritten with the next
update, and the -u switch will be back!

I'll update by hand for now and retest.
