You may try again in the morning when the packages will be updated.

Totally weird. Let's wait until tomorrow and see then. But the best of
all is the following line:
   FontForge does not support your encoding (utf8), it will pretend
the local encoding is latin1

I realized that it might not even be the first time for me to see that message:
    http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/058800.html
but it is totally puzzling. Now I realized that if I replace
    LC_ALL=sl_SI.UTF-8
with
    LC_ALL=sl_SI.utf8
in my environment I get that message as well (but I have no clue
whether it influences anything).

Don’t you always get this on stderr when running luatex? It’s
harmless and was always there. Have a look at the list in
“noprefs.c” to see that my locale en_US.utf8 isn’t there. Though
I don’t have clue as to why on earth it should default to latin1

No, never.

I would say that the proper name *is* actually UTF-8, not "utf8".

My guess: because an arbitrary input is valid latin1, but not
necessary valid UTF-8.

True, some rogue setting in my .xinitrc caused the lowercased
setting, now that I removed it the Fontforge complaint is gone.
Thanks for being that attentive.

True, although I don’t think there’s many systems left still
running a latin1 locale.

Good night

As a data point, on my FreeBSD 9.0 systems the locale is indeed 
en_US.UTF8 not .utf8.
