We can use the debug library
\directlua{local oldgc=collectgarbage;  collectgarbage("stop"); function
collectgarbage(...); print(...); print(debug.traceback()); end}
\fontfam[catalog]
\bye

but the debug library must be enabled at command line:
luahbtex --luadebug

One message looks suspicious, because it's "harf"
stack traceback:
        [\directlua]:1: in function 'collectgarbage'
        ...mf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload-harf-define.lua:542: in
function <...mf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload-harf-define.lua:539>
        (...tail calls...)


luaotfload-harf-define.lua
539 luatexbase.add_to_callback('glyph_stream_provider', function(fid, cid,
kind, ocid)
    540   if cid == 0 then -- Always the first call for a font
    541     glyph_stream_data, extents_hbfont = nil
    542     collectgarbage()
    543     local fontdir = font.getfont(fid)
    544     if fontdir and fontdir.hb then
    545       if kind == 3 then

and if we comment line 542, we have the same as luatex.
