And using `-l' to load scsh.scm fixes the problem:

mwette$ guile -L `pwd` -l scsh.scm -c '(load-in-vicinity (getcwd) 
"foo.scm")'setting SIGCHILD to SIG_DFL...
setting SIGCHILD to SIG_DFL...done
;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0

An update from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 adds call-with-module-autoload-lock which 
places a
mutex around autoload.  This looks like one place to start digging. See 
ice-9/threads.scm:

(set! (@ (guile) call-with-module-autoload-lock)
  (let ((mutex (make-mutex 'recursive)))
    (lambda (thunk)
      (with-mutex mutex
        (thunk)))))
