direclua vs. luacode*

If I compile the following code with LuaLaTeX I get the word "RED" as output. The call of token.set_macro inside of luacode* seems to be noneffective.



listfiles
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage{luacode}

newcommand*foo{RED}

iftrue
begin{luacode*}
token.set_macro('foo', 'GREEN')
end{luacode*}
else
directlua{token.set_macro('foo', 'GREEN')}
fi

begin{document}
foo
end{document}


After changing iftrue to iffalse I get "GREEN". Can anyone explain this behavior? Many thanks.
