Well – no. The minimal example I posted compiles just fine, neither a
warning or an error. (With an “eszett” in case it was broken by my mail
client?)

Yes, but that's clearly a bug.

oh … I thought it was a feature. Same happens with pdfTeX, btw.

In pdftex you probably see nothing because it depends on the setting of
\tracinglostchars.

Seems to be 1 in my case. As far as I understand the TeXbook, I would expect some record then?

In luatex, there was a bug, where nothing was ever
printed except in some odd cases inside math and the virtual font definition
processing.

I’ve committed a fix that checks during shipout and,  with \tracinglostchars=2,
I now get this output on the terminal:

   [1{/Users/taco/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/plain/pdftex.map}
   Missing character: There is no ß (U+00DF) in font cmr10!
   ]

that is not completely perfectly right, because it is not really a character at
that point, but that is mostly cosmetics, and this message is a bit easier to
comprehend than ‘Missing glyph’.

That's nice. Thanks for explaining and fixing! (Although I'm not sure what exactly the best behaviour would be here …)

cheers
Arno
