I did not dug it deep but it looks like I hit a bug in luac that was fixed in 5.0.3. Anyway updating lua source to 5.0.3 with 64 bit compilation patch backported from 5.1.4 seems to do the job. The version was buried in old (I mean very old) source control system (cvs) so I can not find it now in a reasonable time. 
Thanks anyway! It is strange that google didn't found anything about such problem. It looks like first issue with lua that I hit by myself through all the years. 

ps. I found old cvs repo sources it looks like this lines may help dianose version:
