I've ran into subtle error when tried to run lualatex over source file for
revtex4 or revtex4-1 class. Here is MWE:

This doesn't related with luatex either, please see
http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-June/013520.html

Just try the following example document with either xelatex or lualatex
(both would fail) and even pdflatex will:
<file name="ex.ltx">
\documentclass{revtex4}
...
...
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
...

\begin{document}

Hello,
...
...
World.
...
...
\begin{figure}
  This is a figure
\end{figure}
...
...
\end{document}
</file>
...
...
The 'fixltx2e' package is included by `fontspec-patches.sty', see e.g.
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/27872/revtex-4-1-fixltx2e-includegrap...
...

Unfortunately, fontspec uses `usepackage' so you can't call it using
`RequirePackage'.
...
Sure he can.
...
\RequirePackage{fixltx2e}
\documentclass{revtex4}
...
...
will work fine and solve the problem.
Yes, of course, but I wanted to minimize number of explicitly used packages.

Also, the example with `\RequirePackage{fontspec}' before
`\documentclass' showed the problem with `fontspec' (inconsistence in use
of `RequirePackage' and `usepackage'; IMHO, packages should always use
`RequirePackage').
