The packages include macro definitions for both (such as unicode-math-xetex.sty and unicode-math-luatex.sty for unicode-math.sty); at runtime the packages detect the engine they're run with, and pick up the appropriate set of definitions.

Well, I should have looked more closely: unicode-math, when used with LuaLaTeX, calls lualatex-math (there's a \RequirePackage{lualatex-math} at the beginning of unicode-math-luatex.sty). So whatever needs to be done, is done already; the user is not supposed to call lualatex-math herself.
The outcome seems to be that icomma should come at the end of the package list in the preamble, not first. Sadly, it's not the only package to be like this: hyperref etc., all those that redefine macros introduced by other packages.
