I found out Lua 5.4 is the first version with lua_toclose() (and the
__close() metamethod), so the particular manifestation of the bug I've
shown cannot be present in previous versions. Also, lua.org says this
bug has existed since 5.4.3: https://www.lua.org/bugs.html#5.4.4-5
I think that Debian should update lua5.4 to the latest upstream version
5.4.6, which should fix this (and other) bugs. I see that currently,
even in sid, lua5.4 is still 5.4.4.
Thanks,
Asher
P.S. I am reassigning this to the source package, since I think that
makes more sense.

ideas that could provoke such a question.
