[NTG-context] LuaMetaTex dereferences NULL pointer

Hi,

with the latest LuaMetaTeX upload (running on Linux x64),
\normalunexpanded tries to write to address 0 and therefore
segfaults:

\normalunexpanded{abc}
\starttext
\stoptext

ConTeXt fails with

mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 139

The most interesting message from valgrind is

==53200== Invalid write of size 4

==53200==  If you believe this happened as a result of a stack
==53200==  overflow in your program's main thread (unlikely but
==53200==  possible), you can try to increase the size of the
==53200==  main thread stack using the --main-stacksize= flag.
==53200==  The main thread stack size used in this run was 8388608.

Best regards,
Marcel
