While reading your answer, I immediately thought that 'luatex' mode must
have something to do with sanitizing the argument to popen. But I'm
indeed able to remove arbitrary files in the files system by saying
io.popen('rm -f whatever')
Shouldn't popen in luatex/texlua be kept from executing arbitrary
commands similar to the \write18 feature?
