I've done that, to no avail. So I reinstalled MacTeX and… it solved the problem. Then I discovered that the culprit was the last version of the lualatex-math package. I had indeed updated this package in the meantime, via TeXLive-utility, and the bug reappeared. Restoring the older MacTeX-2012 version of this package definitely cleaned up the mess.

This bug didn't show up on the other computer  (which runs under Snow Leopard) simply because I didn't update lualatex-math on it…

So… Problem solved :-) Thanks! And I will make a bug report to the author of lualatex-math.
