Note (for anyone interested) that many (though not all) of the differences between LuaTeX and other engines can be normalised out with appropriate scripting. The LaTeX team are doing that in l3build (https://github.com/latex3/latex3/blob/master/l3build/l3build.lua) and most of the differences we end up after that are 'expected' (i.e. at present there are only a few things that are 'really' the same but which log variation means look different). The comments in the "formatlualog" function (line ~850) should hopefully help anyone interested! On the wrapping specifically, LuaTeX is relatively easy to sort out in most cases as we know it's 'out by one' and can (most of the time) fix that. Try (u)pTeX with non-ASCII chars for even more interesting line length changes! Joseph
