Here's the code that worked for me:

local function convert_line_out (line)
  local line_out = ""
  for c in string.utfvalues(line) do
     line_out = line_out .. string.char(c)
  end
  return line_out
end

callback.register("process_output_buffer", convert_line_out)

Apparently LuaTeX will freeze if there's an error in the lua code.
Also it has its own versions of the Lua libraries: string.utfvalues
was mentioned in the LuaTeX reference manual, and the other functions
I was trying to use evidently weren't there.
