Thank you for the bug report! Fixed in LuaJIT git HEAD and part of
Hotfix #1 for beta9:

The serialization is wrong, i.e. the generated bytecode dump is
bad.

Please regenerate any saved bytecode from source code after
applying the fix! Note that only certain kinds of numbers are
troublesome, so there's a good chance most users haven't been
affected.
