Code run with lua_dostring is stand-alone code: it does not know anything
about being run within a line hook.

Try this: Create a table with the active locals at that point and set
it as the global table for running the code you run with lua_dostring.
Also, set an __index method (or index tag method) for this global table
to get things from the real global table.
