Which hack?  You mean loading modules before compiling?  I guess you
should load the compiler modules too FWIW, perhaps that's an issue.

If there is a nice change we can do to make module-loading thread-safe,
let's think about that :)  It's probably the biggest thread-safety
problem we have in Guile and now would be the right time to fix it.
