This was reported on the LuaLatex list yesterday, and I extended the example to include ConTeXt compounds. From my test folder:

%% No ligatures before dashes! Reported as: “ligatures before
%%   dashes not working with LuaLaTeX 1.07.0” on comp.tex.luatex,
%%   2018-10-29 by Toni Dietze. This is also a problem with ConTeXt,
%%   and is a problem with compounds as well. The problem is worse
%%   with 1.09.0: With 1.07.0 (6686) it fails with the bare hyphen
%%   but had no problem with en-dash, em-dash, and the compounds
%%   shown below. With luatex 1.09.0 (6930) it fails with bare
%%   hyphen and all shown compounds except |=|.

In one 300-page book, this hits a few times (off-course, oft-repeated,...). Not the worst problem, but clearly a regression.
