After lots and lots of debugging work by Mojca, the problem itself
turned out to be simple (as is usually the case).

This bug surfaces always and only when your locale is set to using
a comma for the decimal separator in numbers. It turns out that the
bug was already 'mechanically' fixed in the development trunk, and
that explains why Hans was not affected (my own locale is "C").

Luatex 0.31.3 will be released on monday.

Best wishes,
Taco
