Well, it is easy enough to change the buffering (see
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-file:setvbuf)

io.stdout:setvbuf("no")

It's indeed an issue that people need to know about - e.g. in SciTE we
set the run Lua command to be

lua -e "io.stdout:setvbuf 'no'" $(FileName)

precisely because of this issue - at least on Windows.
