You might find this thread relevant:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-05/msg00364.html

The 2nd one mentioned there still works (71 chars).
You can remove the semicolons to make it 69 chars.

s=[[io.write('s=[','[',s,']',']',s)]];io.write('s=[','[',s,']',']',s)

http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-05/msg00379.html
Which also still works (44 chars):

s="s=%qprint(s:format(s))"print(s:format(s))
