With today's update suddenly the direct compile seems to run fine but using latexmk fails. I wonder what changed in the latest update which involved many binaries.

Howdy,
I have discovered two things:
Running lualatex fails in the same way as using latexmk!!!
More importantly, using --shell-escape for the lulatex run allows the file to compile. This also works for the latexmk run by forcing --shell-escape for its run of lualatex.
PS: I didn't have to use --shell-escape before.
Good Luck,
