or you could redefine error() to write to stdout in Lua:
local error = function (...)
print (...)
--stack traceback and exit, or something
end;
this would be the portable solution.

Ah --- didn't realise you were using error(). The default implementation
which, if I've managed to find it correctly is in lua.c, explicitly writes to
stderr. It doesn't go through the Lua I/O layer.
I'd say you probably have three choices:
(a) do something OS specific which I don't know about.
(b) patch lua.c to write to stdout instead of stderr.
(c) change your script to execute all code inside a pcall wrapper, so that you
can provide your own error reporter that writes to stdout.
Assuming Windows is reasonably Posix, it *may* be possible to simply tell it
to line buffer stdout and stderr --- this will normally do what you want.
setlinebuf() should do this. I don't know if this works on Windows, though.
