Maybe my description was not clear:  With the following  zz.lua file:

    smt = getmetatable('a')
    function smt.__close(s) error("err closing ".. s) end
    do local <toclose> x='XX'; local <toclose> y='YY'  end

./lua zz.lua  outputs:

    ./lua: zz.lua:2: err closing XX

No traceback.

if the 3rd line is replaced with

    do local <toclose> x='XX' end

then "./lua zz.lua" output is

    ./lua: zz.lua:2: err closing XX
    stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'error'
        zz.lua:2: in function <zz.lua:2>
        zz.lua:3: in main chunk
        [C]: in ?

Do you get the same result?
