I don't think it's in the LuaTeX area, for LuaTeX is just a regular
process.
Hm, I suspect it might be some system call inside LuaTeX that is
blocked or the like.
I have to admit that I have run into similar problems with different
software I tried to run from a "server process" (whatever this
means) and it always took me some time to get it right. At the end
it was aways clear to me why it wouldn't run (but I can't remember
anymore, since it is many years ago). So I suggest to replace the
LuaTeX call with different other software and see where it breaks.
Use software that reads STDIN, that writes to STDOUT/STDERR and
alike and see if they are ok.
A simple case like
python -c "print 'Hello'"
works ok.
I tried shell commands and simple tools (echo, set, date, touch)
before, and strace works, too.
Even "texlua --help" works, so it's not texlua generally.
texlua --script context --batchmode --once hello
gives: "Script file context not found"
(at least a usable error message, nothing hangs)
The same with
/var/opt/context/tex/setuptex && texlua --script context --batchmode --
once hello
