As far as I could determine, this only happens when you build lua.c with
-DUSE_READLINE, that is, to use GNU readline.

I missed the following sentence in realine's man page:

 The line returned has the final newline removed, so only  the  text  of
 the line remains.

I assumed readline kept the \n at the end of the string. Sorry about that.
I'll correct the code.  For the time being, here is a quick fix (tested):

In load_string add

#ifdef USE_READLINE
    lua_pushstring(L, "\n");
#endif

before
    lua_concat(L, lua_gettop(L)-2);

Thanks for the report.
