My estimates were a bit off, I think I forgot to count increments of the
C call depth by the interpreter (i.e. each recursion through gsub is
presumably incrementing the call depth twice for each buffer on the
stack, not once).

Using the code currently at github.com/lua/lua master branch, and
instrumenting the stack depth error to actually report the measured
depth, here's some actual numbers I get. The test cases are:

"lua" : local function f() f() return 1 end f()
"gsub": local function f(s) s:gsub(".", f) return "x" end f("foo")
"conc": print(setmetatable({},{__index=function(t,i) table.concat(t,"",1,1) end})[1])
"fmt" : print(setmetatable({},{__tostring=function(t) string.format("%s",t) end}))

(I'm not set up to do 32-bit tests with gcc)

Those are bigger differences than I expected for both 32-bit vs 64-bit,
and for clang39 vs clang60 vs gcc.
