I checked it once.  Iirc, the only problems were strings and Protos
referenced only by internal parser structures (unknown to the GC and
may thus be collected).  The Protos are incomplete and the GC may
choke.  But I can't remember anything else that would prohibit running
Lua code.  (In fact, when the parser issues an error it may call Lua
code...)
