Throught google.com i found this bug
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6206#comment:3
But status is RESOLVED.
How resolved?
Sorry about russian text in log.

Lua 5.2 is not fully backward compatible. VLC still needs Lua 5.1 for the time being.

Thanks!!!
With Lua 5.1.5 vlc compiled without problem )

VLC is indeed compatible with Lua 5.2 if you use the latest master branch (vlc.git).
