The actual, true reason is that luatex does not listen to \hyphenchar=-1 as a means to prevent hyphenation. I am now reconsidering whether this is a bug or not.

At least it's an incompatability (see TeXbook, p.454, 3rd para).

I'd call it a bug since I don't see any situation where ignoring the documented setting would be an advantage. -- David Kastrup
