Good list, Mike! :)
Some comments/questions, not necessarily for you, but in general..
1. Is #t NOT expected to work, if a table has both integer (1..N) and
other (string, etc) keys?
If so, it's really too easy to mess it up, I hope #t would always
find the 'N', no matter which other keys there are (note: hole issue
is different).
2. Extension packages will still need to make sure all directories
they're placing stuff to (including the share/lua/5.1) exist. In
fact, they normally must do this in order for packaging to work,
since the packaging is made to a dummy, clean, directory structure,
and then wrapped together into .deb or something.
Anyways, having Lua do this as well would not hurt, and it'd
emphasize the standard places, at least.

- table.maxn(t) should be documented as 'expensive' and only to
be used if #t does not work (for arrays with holes or tables
with non-integer keys).
...
- 'make install' still does not create the module directories.
It's the duty of the core package to create the module
directories and the duty of the add-on (module) packages to put
modules into them:
INSTALL_LMOD= $(INSTALL_TOP)/share/lua/5.1
INSTALL_CMOD= $(INSTALL_TOP)/lib/lua/5.1
install: all
... mkdir -p ... $(INSTALL_LMOD) $(INSTALL_CMOD)
