The only thing that *might* have any relevance would be commit
c75c62b4. Maybe check this commit vs. the commit just before.
Otherwise, bisecting is the only alternative. But that's tricky
for a problem that doesn't easily reproduce. Pretty much anything,
including minor changes to the memory layout, may have an
influence on the reproducibility of these kind of bugs. Doesn't
matter whether they are in LuaJIT or the app itself.

Well, yes, it'd feel safer if we could rule out that the problem
still lingers in the code.
