How can the crash in the minimal example here be explained? And is there a solution to avoid this and make the crash going away "without having to jump through special hoops"? because \currentdate is a macro thatv does some magic ... it's nor fully expandable

so, lua sees \currentdate == \c as first escaped character coming in and that's invalid (\\currentdate would work)

just try

print("\come on") in pure lua
