You said:

"Yes, I understand perfectly. However, according to the documentation
for "require" (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-require),
after calling require ("foo") while the "foo" file begins with
"module(bar)", the value of package.loaded["foo"] ("foo", not "bar"!)
should be set to true, which it isn't. It's nil!"

Did you actually test package.loaded.foo is nil or not?  I'm betting you did not.
