Good question.  We would have to keep the context somewhere (certainly
solvable), then, I wonder I Lua is ever used threaded?  Could the
problem arise in reality (it did not in our stuff since Jan 1st 2009)

Maybe if two threads create separate states, and then both threads use
syslog at the same time?  (can not happen at this moment).
