I'm currently hunting a bug in our project where the LUA garbage
collector occasionally frees one particular Proto object although it is
still reachable and in use. I've now managed to come up with a small
example demonstrating the problem.

Some more information: I believe I've identified the culprit to be the luaC_checkGC() call introduced by item 6 of the 5.1.4 patches on http://www.lua.org/bugs.html. Just before the interpreter runs into the assertion failure this call sweeps the string table during the anchor_token() call in lparser.c:379. If I remove the checkGC() call my scripts run stable again.
