I've never seen any, and more threads are likely to make more of a problem.

Just make sure a function F called by lua always uses the L it was
passed by Lua, it is always valid (until F returns).

sqlite3 should probably be calling init_callbacks() every time before
calling a callback, since it allows callbacks to call back to its
userdata. I don't know any SQL, though, so I won't try :-). Have you
reported the bug?
