I don't know. But I now also looked at box \z@

And there you get with luatex as first box:

\vbox(12.0+0.0)x0.00002, direction TLT
.\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.00002, direction TLT
..\whatsit
...\localinterlinepenalty=0
...\localbrokenpenalty=0
...\localleftbox=null
...\localrightbox=null
..\glue(\rightskip) 0.0
.\penalty 300
.\glue(\baselineskip) 7.6955
.\hbox(4.3045+0.0)x0.00002, direction TLT
..\SOUL@tt a
..\penalty 10000
..\glue(\parfillskip) 0.0 plus 1.0fil
..\glue(\leftskip) 0.0



While pdflatex shows

> > \box0=
\vbox(4.3045+0.0)x0.00002
.\hbox(4.3045+0.0)x0.00002
..\glue 0.0
..\SOUL@tt a
..\penalty 10000
..\glue(\parfillskip) 0.0 plus 1.0fil
..\glue(\rightskip) 0.0

So box0 contains in luatex at the start 2 hboxes and so needs one
step more to get void than in pdflatex.

The additional box disappears (and also the errors) if I remove the
\tolerance\@M from SOUL@doword:

\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage{soul}
\makeatletter
\showboxdepth=100
\def\SOUL@doword{%
    \edef\x{\the\SOUL@word}%
    \ifx\x\empty
    \else
        \SOUL@buffer={}%
        \setbox\z@\vbox{%
            \SOUL@tt
            \hyphenchar\font`\-
            \hfuzz\maxdimen
            \hbadness\@M
            \pretolerance\m@ne
       % \tolerance\@M %<--------------
            \leftskip\z@
            \rightskip\z@
            \hsize1sp
            \everypar{}%
            \parfillskip\z@\@plus1fil
            \hyphenpenalty-\@M
            \noindent
            \hskip\z@
            \relax
            \the\SOUL@word}%
        \showbox\z@ %<------show
        \let\SOUL@errmsg\SOUL@error
        \let\-\relax
        \count@\m@ne
        \SOUL@analyze
        \SOUL@word={}%
    \fi
}


\begin{document}
\so{a}
\end{document}
Steps To ReproduceThe problem seems to be that the local_par whatsit followed by the hskip introduces a line break, that becomes chosen thanks to the \tolerance
setting.

This special case of local_par+hskip should (if possible) be blocked to ensure compatibility with non-Aleph based engines.

Although ... our aim is is not to be pdftex (etc) compatible esp not if we also want to revision some directional thingies and par related issues. So, even if this get 'fixed' we cannot guarantee similar behaviour in future versions < 1.0.
