This is not a simple lua file, shebangs are not valid lua.

If you take a look at the sources of luaL_loadfile() you'll notice it
skips initial garbage ( BOMs, shell comments ) with an auxiliary
skipcomment() function.
You have two simple solutions:
1.- If you can, use luaL_loadfile instead of loading yourself, let
auxlib do the work.
2.- Otherwise, reimplement ( by creative imitation if you want ) skip
comment to skip the shebang lines on the buffer ( test * buf, if it's
# increment it until you hit end of buffer decrementing sz along the
way, the usual stuff ) ( I would wrap this in a
load_buffer_skip_shebang ).
