Indeed. This is because pushing a light userdata is like pushing a number,
whereas pushing a full userdata with lua_newuserdata allocates memory and
pushes a lua object that references it. So, when you have a full userdata
somewhere and want some function to use the memory area, you have to either
push the light userdata of the corresponding address, or your must retreive
the full userdata itself by some means.
