This is reproducible and has also been filed as PR 192933. I am
wondering if I should fix this and how to do it if should. I agree
that it is better to fix them if possible, but it is harmless in this
case and difficult to properly fix it.
foo.fmt and foo.log which are generated for a TeX format "foo". They
contain ${STAGEDIR} because they are processed within the directory,
but they are just recorded, not used as pathname. Although we can
replace the pathnames by using sed(1) in foo.log since it is a plain
text, it is difficult for foo.fmt.
One way to fix it is to run fmtutil after necessary texmf files
installed. However, .fmt file generation in ${STAGEDIR} is
friendlier with packaging and safer in terms of possible failures
(i.e. errors can be detected before installing).
For whether installing .log file or not, I intentionally installed
them because the output is required for diagnostic purpose. Building
a .fmt can be screwed up in various ways without compile-time error
even if taking countermeasures, and it is difficult to detect
malformed one without .log.
