Ah, ok. This is Windows vs. Unix – I have `texmf-var' in the
`.texlive2013' directory.

Certainly, but this is a sub-optimal solution, I reckon. Note that
older versions of luaotfload did *not* cause a problem; the problem
has been introduced recently

I know that, thanks. But again, this is sub-optimal. Contrary to the
issue with the Chinese fonts this should be rather easy to fix :-)
