You probably need something like this to prevent nil values:

if (lua_isnil(L, -1)) {
    report_error(L, "Trying to save a nil value for %s to campaign data!", <key_info>.c_str());
}

Busy indexing nil values

I got nowhere trying to check for nil values directly, but instead found a way to check this indirectly by comparing the array index to the iterating index. If they are unequal, it means that a nil value was silently skipped, so a coroutine error is thrown.
