Ok, I got it. latex.ltx inputs hyphen.cfg which load patterns using \patterns.
At this point, everything inside the "argument" of \patterns needs to have a
non-zero \lccode or TeX will complain that "Nonletter." For characters in the
0-255 range, this is taken care of by the latex kernel (which is precisely the
cause of the problem). For Unicode characters outside this range, \lccodes have
to be set (by unicode-letters) before patterns are loaded.

Since patterns are not really loaded at this point in LuaTeX, we don't really
need to load luatex-unidoe-letters before latex.ltx.

(Which reminds me, I should reread section 6 of the luatex manual, I guess
LuaTeX handles lccodes in a more clever way than other *TeXs, but I'm not
exactly sure.)

Yep, I think I'll do that, after some testing.

Thanks,
Manuel.
