This is an interesting take on it. Instead of Lua not handling "or"  
properly, it seems the C compiler can't handle it. Sounds quite  
likely on the evidence. I think it still would be useful to look at  
the actual generated assembler code to prove it beyond doubt.

It might be worth trying different optimization levels. Whatever your  
current optimization level is (Andreas), raise or lower it, see if  
that makes a difference.
