[luatex] luaotfload-database.lua error with TeXLive SVN

I've explicitly mentioned in my first mail that I've removed
everything related to luatex from `.texlive2013'...

The problem wasn't unreadable fonts.  It's rather the fact that
luaotfload is apparently not able to handle old Chinese fonts, for
example `avkv.ttf'.  This font has an invalid PostScript font name
`全真楷書^P' (the ^P is a control character)[1], and I guess this is
the very problem.  Moving away the directory with those fonts, the
call succeeds.  Additionally, this font has a `OS/2' table with
version 0, which is unusual also, together with more peculiarities.

Who is responsible for this program?  Neither --version nor --help
gives any contact (which is also a bug IMHO).  Since my lua knowledge
is zero, I can't debug this by myself.
