When using the TeXLive 2016 Pretest, the geometry package does not
appear to be able to change the paper size when using the LuaLaTeX
engine. The failure is silent (no error or warning).
For instance, if the default paper size is set to letter (as it is on my
system), then the following document will come out on letter paper:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\listfiles
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}
Test system is Linux Ubuntu 14.04.
My guess is that this has to do with the backend changes in LuaTeX 0.85.
