In -ini mode, certain things have no catcode yet. Do:

\pdfmapfile{pdftex.map} % not needed, default anyway
...which gives an \errmessage from latex.ltx in

pdfetex -ini  -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex *pdflatex.ini

due to

\ifnum\catcode`\{=1
  \errmessage
  {LaTeX must be made using an initex with no format preloaded}
\fi

so better leave \pdfmapfile{} out.
