Seems clear that this is not a CiviCRM issue nor even a Drupal issue.
If the other packages also can't find files, then either it's a PHP
bug or something changed between the old version and the new version.
Without access to a system set up precisely as yours, it will be
difficult to guess what's wrong--it could also have to do with system
settings or other software/modules installed on your server.

If it were me, I would choose one of these packages and start playing
with the code to determine where the path is getting lost. This

echo $variable_x;die;

while ugly, works quite well in such a situation--keep sticking that
in different places until you figure out what's happening.
