As reported on the dev-luatex list --- is converted to an en-dash

in context we set:
\automatichyphenmode=1

This solves the problem and after some pondering over the
documentation it also looks like a sensible default. But why does
\automatichyphenmode=0 suddenly eat a hyphen?

because <disc -> followed by -- is pretty obscure ... a replace could be seen as --- and when hyphenated as - -- and such ... it's about time that texies start using the proper unicode symbols instead of these funny ligatures
