I think I found the culprit. Some time ago I had followed the advice 
luarocks prints when installing a rock:

"Warning: falling back to curl - install luasec to get native HTTPS 
support".

and installed luasec. This module causes an "undefined symbol: 
luaL_checkint" error when luarocks requires "ssl.https" (in fs/lua.lua, 
line 559), which indicates that it isn't suited for Lua 5.3 (although 
the home page says "lua >= 5.1"). After removing luasec the segfault was 
gone. Perhaps the above-mentioned warning should be modified if luarocks 
is used under 5.3
