Hmm, no I don't think it can be a comma separated list at the moment. The

searched is lou_getDataPath() + /liblouis/tables. If you provide a comma

be
added to the last item in the list.

Hm, I know Bert you wrote the defaultTableResolver code, but it does
look like the code is searching on a search path (in resolveSubtable).
Am I misreading the code?

No you read it right. It's the search path that is being set up in the function
defaultTableResolver, which is the concatenation of LOUIS_TABLEPATH,
getDataPath()+/liblouis/tables, and /usr/local/share/liblouis/tables.

And also the documentation says that liblouis will search all paths in
LOUIS_TABLEPATH (separated by commas). Is that wrong?

No that's correct. LOUIS_TABLEPATH can be comma separated, but dataPath was not
designed for that use I guess.
