Incorrect total frame number for beamer with lualatex

[harrysw1729]

Bug description

When I compile a beamer document with lualatex, the total frame number would be fixed at 1. For example, when I rendered the following .qmd file with three slides, the total frame number was fixed at 1, and each frame number became 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, such as shown below:

When I set pdf-engine to xelatex instead, the issue disappeared. When I used latexmk on my device to compile the generated .tex file, the issue would also disappear.

I am running Quarto 1.3.340 on macOS 13.3.1. My device is the 2020 MacBook Pro with the Apple M1 chip. Below is the output of quarto check:

Below is the terminal message from quarto render with lualatex:

Somehow for lualatex, the LaTeX command was run only once.

I think this can be closed as fixed by https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/commit/7361d3663d3551f228d9f9d237ce440491b8e71b, which addressed a similar issue. Here also lualatex is called only once, and the number of pages is unknown during the first run. It doesn't happen with xelatex because in that case the logfile has a line Package hyperref Warning: Rerun to get /PageLabels entry. that triggers a second run.

(I checked I can reproduce the issue with 1.4.226 and it's gone in 1.4.376.)

Thank you for the update ! I can verify too.
