Since Lua reached the point of syntax (backward) incompatibility would

How is syntax incompatibility different from semantic incompatibility such
as 5.2's _ENV? Code written for 5.2 may not run correctly on 5.1 (unless
care is taken to assure that it will), just like code written for 5.3 may
not run correctly on 5.2 (unless care is taken to assure that it will). In
fact, it seems to me that the 5.2/5.1 incompatibilities are much more likely
to manifest in real-world code than the 5.3/5.1 ones, especially if one
doesn't choose to use the optional additional features.
