Hi,

this might be the same issue than one with \scantokens
which was discussed some time ago on this list (lost the reference)

this was

http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2015-March/005138.html
[luatex] behavior of \write in LuaTeX differs from the one of   PdfTeX/XeTeX

which referenced some other threads,

I tried also running pdftex with -8bit switch which
was mentioned by Hans in the previous thread and this gives

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015) (preloaded 
format=pdftex 2015.10.14)  20 NOV 2015 09:50
entering extended mode
  restricted \write18 enabled.
  %&-line parsing enabled.
**testlualog.tex
(./testlualog.tex macro:->\romannumeral ` foo bar foo bar foo bar
macro:->\romannumeral ` foo bar foo bar foo bar
  )

  (contains two null characters)

The log with luatex is:

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238)  (format=luatex 
2015.10.14)  20 NOV 2015 09:53
  restricted \write18 enabled.
**\input testlualog.tex
(./testlualog.tex macro:->\romannumeral ` foo bar foo bar foo bar
macro:->\romannumeral `
)

only one null character in \message output

in \write output the null character is not there
(and the other things are gone)
best,

well, because we're in a mixed tex/lua environment 0's can always be sort of an issue .. just try to avoid them .. the times that we needed those slots for fonts are gone (in fact: avoid chars < 32)
