We had a thread about this recently, but the basic issue is the same as with Metalua; there is no standard LVM bytecode, it depends on the implementation. So if you wanted to use LuaJIT to go really fast, you would be better off using Lua itself as the intermediate compilation language.
After all, that's what GWT does: compiling Java to JavaScript code. No choice, as JS has even less standard bytecode! Similarly, lot of compilers just generate C code too, leaving the machine-dependent code generation and the optimizations to good compilers like GCC...
