If you're storing all your userdatas in the array part, a simple

My userdatas are keys in a weak keyed table. I've just tried your recipe in my application, both with t.foo=nil and with t[1]=nil -- it didn't help.
Here's a modified version of your example:
 collectgarbage()
 local t={}
 print(gcinfo())
 for i=1,1e6,3 do t[i]=true end
 for i=1,1e6,3 do t[i]=nil end
 collectgarbage()
 print(gcinfo())
 t.foo, t[1], t[2] = nil
 print(gcinfo())
Output:
