Comment (by seamusdemora):

 I'm going to add the results of a little experiment I did:

 OS version: macOS Mojave, v 10.14.6

 MacPorts version: MacPorts base version 2.12.5 installed

 findutils version: 4.10.0_0


 {{{
 $ touch ~/Rw9Qt57_gcA.random

 $ sudo gupdatedb

 /Users/seamus/Rw9Qt57_gcA.random

 $ mv ~/Rw9Qt57_gcA.random ~/XvW92T0-y7h.modnar

 $ sudo gupdatedb --prunepaths='/private/var'

 $ glocate XvW92T0-y7h.modnar
 /Users/seamus/XvW92T0-y7h.modnar

 }}}

 RESULT: On Mojave, using above-named MacPorts and findutils versions,
 {{{gupdatedb}}} appears to have built a functional locatedb file with - or
 without  - the use of the {{{--prunepaths}}} option.

 --------------------

 On a different Mac:

 OS version: macOS Tahoe, v 26.4.1

 MacPorts version: MacPorts base version 2.12.5 installed,

 findutils version: 4.10.0_0

 $ locate Rw9Qt57_gcA.random

 $
 #  i.e. null output  =>  empty locatedb

 }}}

 RESULT: On Tahoe, using above-named MacPorts and findutils versions,
 {{{gupdatedb}}} appears to have FAILED to  build a functional locatedb
 file.
