Thanks, that did the trick.
Still, there are a couple of problems with the latest version of lua(la)tex. I realize that most if not all of time are due to not yet updated packages, still, I thought it would be good to report them.
The following commands break the compilation:
\pdfminorversion
\pdfcompresslevel
\pdfobjcompresslevel
I guess this is a result of the recent luatex cleanup, but from a quick googling I could not find any reference for this.
Pgf has serious problems; for example, calling the package todonotes results in the following error:

Ulrike Fischer seems to have reported this problem already, see https://sourceforge.net/p/pgf/bugs/384/
There are also all kind of pgf-related warnings:

Microtype also does not work at the moment, I get the following error:

Finally, I get the following message (which is not fatal) dozens of times:
> Non-PDF special ignored!
Let me know, if you need more specific information on any of these issues.
