Sorry, I was not clear, I should probably have started a fresh thread.

The build was successful, as far as I can tell. I installed the binaries
into a texlive/2008 tree, where I copied texmf-dist, texmf, texmf-doc. I
ran updmap, fmtutil --all, rebuilt the ls-R database. Tex, (pdf)latex,
etc. work properly. I have not tested xetex, yet. 

The error message I was reporting comes from texdoc. Now, the problem is
that I know nothing about lua, so I'm not sure where to start digging. 

Just to use the hammer, after having had a look at those directories in
the error message, I copied texdoc.tlu from texmf/scripts/texlive
directly into the bin/<arch> directory and simlinked texdoc directly to
it... and it now works.

Even without rebuilding that output looks fine, on first parsing.
