Indeed seems funny that combining expressions with paranthesis has different result than having them as separate expressions.

Same results on 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, MacOS and Windows.

For what it's worth, I observed in lcode.c that the OPR_AND expression inherited the 'k' (kind) of VTRUE from its rhs subexpression, which seems wrong and seems to throw off the subsequent call to luaK_goiffalse().
