Are there any updates to this? The issue should be fixed in a recent tectonic commit:
​https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/issues/1207
However, the most recent release (0.15.0) doesn't yet include this fix.

Homebrew fixed it using a patch: ​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/183096

I'm waiting for the next release. In the meantime, pull requests with any workaround are welcome.
