Hmm, this seems to be different here. Your example document stops and shows \showthe\count@ with both, lualatex --shell-escape example and pdflatex --shell-escape example on MikTeX 2.9. I really dislike these strange incompatibilities.

@Alexander My opinion is that it's best to stick to the most common "cross platform" way of doing things. For instance, MiKTeX adopted --shell-escape after having used --enable-write18 for some years.

Yes egreg, I absolutely agree. I looked up the POSIX guidelines and they state that option processing stops after the first command, so according to what you observe.

@mafp Yes. I should've made it clearer.
