Is there someone who understand the inproc implementation well enough
can help me work through it and try to prove the message transport is
thread safe? Offline? I'm still suspicious, but I can't follow the source
code at the moment (typical code, its hard to tell which thread executes
which functions until you know how it works .. :)

Generally, messages are not thread safe AFAICS. But it is probably only an
issue is a message got moved around between several client threads.
Since sockets aren't thread safe (by default) there's no reason to expect
you can move messages between threads in user space either:
The "right way (TM)" would be to use inproc transport.
