This is wrong and possibly breaks other plugins. Additionally, this
shouldn't be necessary since SVN r3440. Please try to use the latest
SVN version.

Yup.
It just needs to be fixed but currently the Lua plugin doesn't have a
maintainer and so nobody really is responsible to change it.
See http://lists.uvena.de/pipermail/geany/2009-January/003915.html.

See above, without a maintainer such changes are unlikely.

Yes, for bug reports the bugtracker is even better:

but it doesn't matter that much.
