This leads for me to two questions:
1.) Can this switch not be also lead to problems in "normal" C code
not poking around in internals of Lua?
Not that I am aware of.
2.) Why is this switch necessary at all? Why would I want code to
"know" that it's part of the core and behave differently?
LUA_CORE as you have seen defines other internally used macros if it
is defined and this is not what is wanted when a user simply includes
the public API headers.

This is not surprising as you are using internal details.
