If you were to rebuild texlive immediately, I would agree, but as you 
aren't planning to, right now it is a major issue: users should not have 
to choose between the important bugfixes (not to mention the new API) in 
1.2.8 and a properly functioning luatex.

I agree with the conclusion in the Gentoo bug entry: the version check 
is completely superfluous and should be removed, so that this does not 
continue to be an issue in the future.
