There aren't going to be any slight environment differences due to compilation
options on WMF wikis, not least because the nature of the LuaSandbox extension
is such that we can't have different versions of LuaSandbox running on
different wikis.[1] And the process of deploying a new version of LuaSandbox
necessarily involves adjusting the version number, as mentioned in comment 6.

As for non-WMF wikis, it's probably more likely that there would be differences
involved in some using LuaStandalone rather than LuaSandbox. Hopefully that
will be at a minimum, though, as things are well sandboxed and Scribunto's unit
tests are run against both engines.


 [1]: It would be possible for different *servers* to have different versions,
but aside from transient situations during an actual deploy such a situation
would be a sign of a more major problem.
