Actually the correct way to detect how/why a subdissector is being called is to use the pinfo->match_uint or match_string fields. These will tell you, to quote the comment in packet_info.h, the "matched uint for calling subdissector from table".

I don't know the Lua API enough to know if that field is exposed to Lua dissectors but I would hope it is...
