For some reason, I think the peer data is not correct when the zone directive is used in an upstream. But I am not really sure where in the source the config is parsed and peer/server data is populated.

The ngx_lua_upstream module is not adapted to work with peers stored
in memory as a linked list, thus it cannot be used with upstream zone
that copies peers from configuration to shared memory one by one, thus
the peers' layout is effectively changed from an array to a linked list.
The problem you observe is that lua iterates peers by index as an array.

See this change as a guidance:
