btw, you should run pdftex/xetex in -8bit mode in order to compare

I didn't know about these options, thanks

regarding:


(btw, in general you cannot expect luatex to behave exactly like pdftex and 
xetex esp when it comes to file io and logging)

could there be a -7bit option to luatex for matters of \write ?

no, that will not happen .. luatex us 8 bit and utf and if you want something else you can use the callbacks and or luatex for implementing whatever file thingies you like

else packages from the pre-scantokens pre-detokenize area which
rely on external file output+input might be broken in certain
circumstances (I dont' have anything specific in mind, this is
pure rhetoric)

adapt the packages to modern times

and about the \scantokens issue

the tracker

http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=733

displays the topic as open

is there anything in the works ?

not yet (certainly not around the current code freeze for tl 2015)
