The error code has been rewritten but that already happened long ago, 
and i never came to hooking the errhelp into that (rather trivial but we 
never use that in context anyway), I'll look at it.

No, as that is a side effect of the 'rest of the command line being read 
after an injected \input' and that is not the case in luametatex. There 
are a few command line arguments and --jobname is one of then. That bit 
won't change but one can deal with that in Lua (there is an input line 
callback so i might even drop the left over bits of those terminal 
related features).
