The next update of steam will copy the bootstrap files into the steam directory just in case it needs to re-bootstrap itself.
Thanks!
The next-next-update
Still not fixed.
The latest update has a version of /usr/bin/steam that will copy the bootstrap into place. You're free to modify that script to copy the bootstrap from the right place.

Hello,
I'm running Steam on Gentoo and because it's a user installed program (not using portage) I installed it to /usr/local instead of /usr, which should be no problem for any program.
But Steam uses hardcoded /usr/lib path in some of it's scripts and now I got a X window every time I start or quit Steam with
Couldn't start bootstrap and couldn't reinstall from /usr/lib/steam/bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32.tar.xz.
I've changed the path in the scripts, Steam poped up an install message at the next launch, but is still giving the error every time.
