I'll double check if you can send me the definitions of func.

The Debian texmacs maintainer has beat me to it.  He has applied the
following patch to texmacs for Debian, which (I've just confirmed)
makes axiom thereunder work just fine:

I haven't yet released the new Debian axiom with the symlink and am
wondering if it is still advisable.

Take care,
