Did you post this to the Emacs list? Native-comp is in master, but not 
“released”. So I agree with what Tim said about it is too soon for Org to 
consider solutions if it happens to be an edge case that native-comp might be 
able to address. I use native-comp, but have not tried the async export yet.
