Ah, symptoms were the same, the cause completely different.

That is correct. First the %LOCALAPPDATA%\lazarus (primary config 
directory) is tried. If there are no files there, then the lazarus 
directory (secondary config directory) is read. If there is nothing 
there too, then built-in defaults are used. The location of primary and 
secondary config directory is OS dependent. The IDE only writes to the 
primary config directory.

Nothing new here. If the lazarus directory is write protected, then a 
new lazarus executable is created in %LOCALAPPDATA%\lazarus and 
startlazarus should be able to find it.
