[OS X TeX] Paper size is wrong

I keep getting a4 pages rather than letter pages. The problem seems to
have come up since installing TeXLive 2009, but I'm not sure as I
don't create the documents in question very often. In any event, I
could make this kind of document last year and got the right paper size.
I am including [A] a sample document, [B] the relevant parts of the
log, and [C] the results from tlmgr paper.
The last indicates that everything is set for letter paper. There's
nothing in the local envlab.cfg or envlab.sty files that mentions
paper size. Yet I get a4 pages rather than letter pages. Since I'm
trying to print sticky labels, this difference throws everything off.
Thank you very much.

[A] Here is a sample document that gives me trouble:
\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{letter}
\usepackage[noprintbarcodes,nocapaddress]{envlab}
\SetLabel{2.8125in}{1.5in}{.25in}{4.32mm}{0in}{3}{7}
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode,xltxtra}
\setromanfont[Numbers=Lowercase]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont{FrescoStd-SemiBold}
\makelabels
\begin{document}
\startlabels
\mlabel{}{Michael Green \\ Philosophy \\ Pomona College}
\end{document}
\endinput
[B] This is the log:
