At LVVP they said it was the silicon content of dual/triple compound tyres that cause the problem, and according to ChainReaction Luganos are a silica compound. Also not a slick so wouldn't want to risk it on wood.
When I got my track bike (second hand) it was shod with Schwalbe Ones, a top of the range road tyre, but triple compound. These had very little grip and squirmed and squealed on the boards at LVVP before I gave up and use a hire bike for the rest of the session and have since changes to track specific tyres (Vittoria Diamante Pro Pista).
Can't comment on outdoor/tarmac velodromes as I have only ridden them on hire/season bikes.
