Ah, I see what's wrong. It's in the guc_file.l

Previously, the "custom_variable_classes" was *set* first of all 
variables. Now, it's moved first in the linked list and then *tested* 
first of all. Subsequent tests of custom variables will of course then 
fail since the custom_variable_classes has not been set.

Perhaps this change could be reverted? Or perhaps someone has other 
preferences on implementation?
