Figure out what it is and file a bug for not dropping privileges appropriately.I searched all over / (find / -perm +4000) but could not find anything TeX related. I have attached the list of setuid binaries to this email for reference. You'll agree with me that there's nothing in there that could cause this.
Since ls-R is likely created by /usr/bin/mktexlsr (which shouldn't be setuid) and /usr/bin/mktexlsr is executed by cron as root from /etc/cron.daily/tetex-bin I would assume that something in your configuration includes your home directory.
What do you get when you run as root:
kpsewhich --show-path=ls-R
