    *Should man page mention that the log is in TEXMFHOME/web2c in usermode 

Yes. 

    tlmgr check should ignore these logs?*

Yes.

Committed in r63018, but I want to take a little time before pushing
this out as an update. If you could manually install the patch below and
make sure it works as intended, that would be great.

Thanks,
Karl
