My only use of luatex was 'texdoc', which printed the luatex error.
When testing your new package I gave lualatex a try on my .tex files to
test it on something more realistic.
I usually use 'latex' and 'pdflatex' to build my documents.

Works with 'latex' and 'pdflatex'.
I'll try to create a minimal example and file a luatex bug when I have
some time.
