The "default" expansion settings (which are defined in 
luaotfload/otfl-font-dum.lua) specify different expansion factors for 
different glyphs (so-called selected expansion). Apart from the fact 
that this is the reason why your pdf is blown up, it is not recommended 
(at least not by Han The Thanh) from a typographical point of view. So, 
to have all glyphs expanded by the same amount, you can use the 
following settings instead:

\pdfprotrudechars2
\pdfadjustspacing2
\directlua{
   fonts.expansion.setups['nonselected'] =
     { stretch = 2, shrink = 2, step = .1, factor = 1 } }
\defaultfontfeatures{RawFeature={protrusion=default; 
expansion=nonselected;}, Mapping=tex-text, Scale=MatchLowercase}

Just for the record, pdftex also takes the textmatrix approach since v1.40.
