I'm not comfortable removing the version test, since I don't know the
reason for it. As you say, the low frequency of zlib updates makes this
a minor issue.
If you were to rebuild texlive immediately, I would agree, but as you
aren't planning to, right now it is a major issue: users should not have
to choose between the important bugfixes (not to mention the new API) in
1.2.8 and a properly functioning luatex.
I agree with the conclusion in the Gentoo bug entry: the version check
is completely superfluous and should be removed, so that this does not
continue to be an issue in the future.
