This works for variables that are directly associated with a search
path, such as $TEXINPUTS. $TEXMF is just a stupid variable without real
kpathsea magic. Ot with other words, kpathsea does not know the concept
of texmf trees.
You can use brace expansion, as in:
TEXMF="{~/texmf-fc,`kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMF`}"; export TEXMF
