[tex-live] --recorder output with luatex miss full pathes sometimes

[John Collins]

I can confirm that this bug also exists in the OS-X versions of 
lualatex, and in TeXLive 2016, as well as in the MS-Windows versions 
reported by Ulrike.

This is an actual bug IMO, because the fls file is supposed to indicate 
correct dependency information.
