[luatex] updates to various lua* packages breaks..something.

Following from Ulrike Fisher, demigod status on various (La)TeX lists. I 
use the criterion that if it happens to Ulrike, its a real problem. ;-)

I made a local update of luaotfload and luaotfbase in my miktex 2.9.
I used the files packaged by miktex (in miktex/tm) and did not check
if they are identical to the version in the normal CTAN locations.

G:/Temp/texmf/tex/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload.sty
Package: luaotfload 2012/05/28 v1.27 OpenType layout system

(G:/Temp/texmf/tex/luatex/luatexbase/luatexbase.sty
Package: luatexbase 2013/04/13 v0.5 Module utilities for LuaTeX

I can confirm the problem: luaotfload is constantly recreating the
font name database:

luaotfload | Updating the font names database:
luaotfload | Scanning TEXMF and OS fonts...

A minimal example that triggers the problem on my system is

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}

\begin{document}
Lorem  $a$
\end{document}

The important part is the $a$: Without some math in the document
everything is fine. It doesn't matter if I use the [no-math] option
or not.

The luatex version in miktex is
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012060719 (MiKTeX 2.9).
