A very quick, fast, and non-crashing solution is to disable setting \pdfoutput to non-zero in initex mode :-)

No, because that get's dumped and the pdf*-formats (like pdflatex.ini) set it.

So, that leaves two options: bluntly disabling \pdfrefximage et.al. in ini mode, or adding dump/undump code for those arrays. It would not be a very invasive patch, and that has my preference.

What do you think?

That's exactly what I propose to do: Disable \pdfximage and other commands (like \pdfxform and \pdfobj) that cause problems in ini mode.

So it is is feasible, my vote would be on dumping the required arrays.

It's not easily done; a patch would be welcomed, but be warned that this is _hard_. And I seriously doubt that luaTeX needs it. Best Martin
