I copied that from the tutorial; http://luarocks.org/en/Creating_a_rock 
did I miss something there, or does it have the same flaw?
Not needing the extra entry 'source.dir' would require that the 
directory inside the tar also uses the '-1' spec revision? Is that 
how it works?

You got me confused by now; whats the advised way of working? Not including
The revision in the directory in the tar, and then include the extra
'source.dir' key?
