[luatex] Should lualatex have pdflatex or xelatex compatibility?

Here is an example where lualatex behaves like pdflatex when
it would have been nicer to behave like xelatex.

On the following file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref,biblatex}
\bibliography{refs}
\begin{document}
This is a Latex reference \cite{latex2012}.
\end{document}

lualatex produces this message:

LuaTeX warning (dest): name{cite.0 at latex2012} has been referenced but does
not exist, replaced by a fixed one

Similarly, pdflatex:

pdfTeX warning (dest): name{cite.0 at latex2012} has been referenced but does not
exist, replaced by a fixed one

Running the program a second time does not help.

But xelatex:

Package hyperref Warning: Rerun to get /PageLabels entry.

and when running it a second time there is no warning.
