I did not analyze emacs-module.h and emacs-module.c carefully enough to find the exact problem areas. Now that you mention it, I imagine the problem you mention can occur, but I expect that there are other problems as well. For example, the module code contains comments like "It is very important that pushing the handler doesn't itself raise a signal" that suggest that the corresponding code is incompatible with stack overflow checking.
