... I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion; the error clearly originates in hardwrap.sty. I'm not using the latest version of TL2012, I believe, but a minimal example that breaks for me is:
\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\@@input"|kpsewhich -var-value=max_print_line"\relax
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\end{document}
I'm using some pre-release version of MacTeX 2012, and my console output is:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012)
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./small.tex

\relax
l.3 ...|kpsewhich -var-value=max_print_line"\relax
So somewhere along the line it looks like pipe input was broken. No problem, I will update hardwrap.sty ASAP to avoid the issue; it's not like anyone changes `max_print_line` anyway!
