synctex fails with lualatex on windows too. And it fails with with
the luatex version 1.06 (which is now in miktex) but not with 1.04
(texlive). 

I compared the synctex files of both and the problem is that the
link to the main tex file is missing at the start. 

The synctex files refers to a lot positions in input 0 but the file
list starts with

Input:1:D:/MiKTeX2.9/tex/latex/base/article.cls


I added before this line 

Input:0:G:/Z-Test/./test-utf8.tex

and then synchronization worked again. Imho this is a luatex bug.

(the texlive synctex starts with number 1 and not 0
 Input:1:G:/Z-Test/./test-utf8.tex)
