indeed
Here is a minimal example. The spaces around formulas are more.
in the meantime I have also updated my \texmf subtree (LM should be up
to date). Using your example, I now get a
12pt text font with pdftex and
10pt text font with luatex (but 12pt in math mode).
So maybe you have the same problem?
If I remember it right, luatex normally used the OTF variant of LM in my
prior test. Now it's also T1, but with an additional font (this one is
used for the 10pt text) in comparison to pdftex:
lmrroman12-regular (Embedded Subset)
Type: Type1 (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
stupid me. this is otf :)

the lm 12 file says ...
["design_size"]=0,
  ["familyname"]="LMRoman12",
  ["fontname"]="LMRoman12-Regular",
  ["fullname"]="LMRoman12-Regular",
so it looks like we have a problem there; in that case mkiv assumes 10pt
i see. which format is used for "design_size"? i tried "12", but i still
get 10pt. "12pt" gives a compilation warning (using luac); i should use
texluac, right? :D
120

but there's also a problem in the loader (in font-otf)


         local designsize = data.designsize or data.design_size or 100
         if designsize == 0 then
             designsize = 100
         end
         tfm.designsize         = (designsize/10)*65536


i'll upload a new zip later

i made a mechanism that can 'repair fonts' so lm is fixed (well, the 
error is intercepted
