I'm not sure. The following minimal file works fine:
=========
\def\lua#1{\directlua0\expandafter{\detokenize{#1}}}

\def\sub#1{%
  \lua{
    tex.print("{\\bf #1}");
}}

\sub{Hello} Bye

\bye
=========

If I use \unexpanded it fails:

                                        ");
\lua ...\directlua 0\expandafter {\unexpanded {#1}
                                                  }
l.10 \sub{Hello}
                 Bye
