That is the hard limit imposed by the design of the VM,
which stores locals on a 256-slot virtual stack that
is used for other stuff too.

The number of locals that a programmer may define is 200.

>From llimits.h:

~~~
* maximum number of local variables per function (must be smaller
   than 250, due to the bytecode format) */
#define MAXVARS         200
