I've found the reason.
I'm not using texlua as a wrapper of repstopdf etc., while TeX Live
uses texlua. texlua can set shellenabledp independently of
texmf.cnf. I have found that luatex
set shell escape enabled in texlua mode. The source is
if (lua_only)
shellenabledp = true;
in luainit.c.
Therefore in all commands called by TeX Live wrappers,
shell escape is fully allowed!!
Best,
Akira
