I just got the newest luatex 1.09, development id: 6884, from

In the pdf there is the "binary" marker on the line after the pdf
version missing. The uncompressed pdf starts like this:

%PDF-1.5
3 0 obj
<< /Length 449 >>

instead of

%ÐÔÅØ
3 0 obj
<</Length 133       >>
It's on purpose. (Btw, there were cases when whole blobs of e.g. executable code was put there.) The proper way to identitify a file doesn't depend on that piece of obscured "PTEX" but on metadata and such.
