Thanks for all the informative explanations. I've now added the
--jobname switch for luatex and lualatex with the quoting you recommend
above, i.e. --jobname=luatex\ test in the example we discussed. I've
added it really only for the two LuaTeX binaries and not for other
engines' binaries since I want to keep the impact as small as possible.
