Just to clarify the situation:
the only build affected (for whatever reason, as the underlying contribs were compiled synchronously) is Intel 64-bit and therefore the Universal Binary in case the 64bit mode is executed. 32bit Intel works correctly. I'll recompile and provide an updated build later tonight. This will also fix a corner-case with pre-compiled lua scripts within the Universal Binary.
