    local a = {};
    a[1] = (function() a = nil end)()

Crashes with error: assignment to nil.


Although not directly related to the topic at hand...
I think it's worthwhile to distinguish between throwing errors (handling things gracefully) and crashing (not so gracefully... ;-)). 

In this case, Lua doesn't crash, it throws an error.
