The debug console probably could use some work. The way it works now, it takes your past and current input, plugs all that into some boilerplate to make a function, and then executes that function. The line numbers reported for "Lua error in console input" therefore depend on this boilerplate and on the lines you've previously entered in the session.
It's also possible to break that boilerplate function, as you've seen below.
I agree. I know it's a stretch, but the ideal situation would be to have some sort of actual debugger. Like a full-blown console or something where you could test code and it would tell you where it failed and why, etc. I know some of this is supported already.
