It looks like nobody doesn't have a non-writable HOME, but no HOME at
all (or "/") on your system.

Well, in my testing Emacs works (giving just a warning about the
non-writable .emacs.d and then moving on), both 24.3 and trunk from a
few days back. Perhaps you have something in site-lisp that assumes a
writable ~/.emacs.d?
