Interesting. If you run qbs with "--command-echo-mode
command-line-with-environment", you can see exactly what environment qbs passes to the application.
Although now that I think of it, the colon might be the problem, as QtQuick probably interprets it as a path separator and then throws away the "qrc" and "/qml" parts, because they are not existing paths. Maybe it's not possible to provide qrc paths in this variable...
