If needed, I can roll back to LuaTeX 0.72.0, but I believe that Hans
will fix this soon enough. However, this means that the "current"
(stable) ConTeXt will stop working with the latest LuaTeX.

(Hans, is there any chance to make a fix that will work with both
0.72.0 *and* 0.74.0? Also: would it be possible/feasible to backport a
tiny change to TL/current context as well or is this going to
introduce a plethora of other incompatibilities?)
