Notice the lack of any C modules (i.e. ending in .so)
This indicates it has not installed any C modules.

Sounds like you have a C module sitting around elsewhere.
Find out where your stray module is by running:

$ strace -e 'open' lua -lposix.curses

e.g. my output:

open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libreadline.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

ENOENT (No such file or directory)
