yes, could be.

So you should wait until things are updated, or just use your compiled
version.
The current TL uses 0.80.0, and you can find the source at
https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/tags/beta-0.80.0/?root=luatex

You should have no problem to compile it and replace the standard binary of
TL
(and rebuild the formats, to be sure).

If it works for you , can you try
strip -u -r luatex
as reported by Tantau at
http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=555 ?
