Odd; I tried using it (in both 5.1.4 and 5.2 work2) yesterday, and
coroutine.yield returned "attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call
boundary". Here's the code I used:

----
co = coroutine.create(function() for i=1,100 do print(i) end end)
debug.sethook(co, function() print("hooked") coroutine.yield() end, "", 1)
print(coroutine.resume())
----
Output:
hooked
false attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call boundary
