[luatex] Behaviour of \mathstyle

Hello all,

As noted by Enrico Gregorio
(http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/28883985#28883985),
the behaviour of \mathstyle seems to be odd:

    $\scriptstyle\count255=\mathstyle 3 \the\count255$\par
    $\scriptstyle\count255=\scriptstyle 3 \the\count255$\bye

Unlike similar variables, \mathstyle is not terminated correctly. I also
see that \(show)the\mathstyle is an error rather than what one might
expect here.

The manual doesn't specify, but I assume this is not deliberate?

Joseph
