The difference to these packages is that they don't load a lua file. You
would run into similar problems for example with pgf or luacolor, or
even if you only try to select a new font, because fontspec is crippled too.

\dump saves the *TeX* state to the .fmt file, but not the Lua state. One
can arrange (using bytecode) to save Lua fragments into a format but
this is not really a general solution. Thus Lua code has to be loaded
\everyjob. That's fine provided it's expected, but LaTeX packages tend
to be designed on the assumption that they will be loaded 'live'. (In
l3kernel we do allow for user dumps, but this is not perhaps everyone's
priority.)
So, in your opinion, is there anything that packages can/should be doing
in this respect?
