which is an alias of

The directory name luatex-cache suggests it's used for caching. I
interpret the output like „something happens during the generation of
the format file and therefore the file never gets generated“. I don't
know much about the internals.
I don't really have any reason for using MacTeX over texlive; I was once
told that this is the thing I want to use on a Mac when I was a student,
and have used it ever since.
I could switch over and try texlive if nothing else helps, though I
think it would be good to pin down the cause of this error and tell the
MacTeX folks about it.
Regards,
Felix
