Actually, although I have also encountered the problem you describe, I was
referring to this output from toLua:

MyEnumType tolua_var_1 = ((MyEnumType) tolua_getnumber(tolua_S,2,0));

needs to be:

MyEnumType tolua_var_1 = ((MyEnumType)(int)  tolua_getnumber(tolua_S,2,0));

I'm attaching my toLuaFrontend perl script (for reals this time - last time
I forgot to actually attach it). Let me know if you find it useful.
