To clarify, the problem is in the user-defined hook:

    (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda()
                                 (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                                      (concat "lualatex " (shell-quote-argument 
(buffer-file-name))))))

The hook does not work when (buffer-file-name) returns nil, which is
exactly what happens when Org mode tries to fontify the source block.
Org does it inside a temporary buffer not associated with any real file.

One way to fix the problem would be

    (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda()
                                 (when (buffer-file-name)
                                 (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                                      (concat "lualatex " (shell-quote-argument 
(buffer-file-name)))))))

Best,
Ihor
