Indeed, I can reproduce the problem on another machine, only with
luametatex 2.11.01+ds-2:
qaa:~> mtxrun --generate
lua error : startup file: /bin/mtxrun.lua:2438: attempt to assign to const variable 'i'
You'll see the failure in an upgrade if you upgrade luametatex at the
same time as the TeX Live packages (at least, *not after* TeX Live).
