This was a bit crazy to track down. Here is the fix: 

In line 180 of mtx-install-modules.lua, comment the line

        or find(n,"luatex")

Otherwise, the file 

    tex/generic/pgf/systemlayer/pgfsys-luatex.def

is not extracted from the tikz.zip! 

I don't know why OP and I (both on archlinux) were the only ones who had pgfsys-luatex.def missing. Everyone should have been affected by this.

PS: Also on line 103, it may be a good idea to change the curl call to 

    curl --ssl --location

mirros.ctan.org will also do a HTTP 302 redirect and without the --location flag, curl will not follow the redirect.
