If you are returning to Lua, the return values are used and the stack
is cleaned up.
So this situation only applies when you staying in C.

I find it hard to imagine a situation where stack leakage would be
critical when you
have all the resources of C at your disposal.

Maybe you would be able to convince me if you showed an actual
rather than a hypothetical example.
