Actually I can not even imagine what may trigger such behaviour...
Does anyone have any advice on how to debug this?

This bug is with Lua Alchemy 0.2. It is filed here:
http://code.google.com/p/lua-alchemy/issues/detail?id=113

To reproduce it, paste the code from the issue into the Lua Alchemy demo:

http://lua-alchemy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demo/index.html

Unfortunately all callback error handling is going to Flash log, so
you have to be running under debug Flash. A workaround is to replace
print:

print = as3.makeprinter(output)

and replace asserts with code to print errors (also any as3.trace()
calls to calls to print()).

Any ideas are welcome!

Alexander.
