One thing that concerns me: I doubt this is supported in other database
systems... people who relied on this feature in ECPG would likely encounter
threading bugs if they port their code to other DBs. And threading bugs can
be nasty to find. Does anyone know how other DBs handle this issue?

I thinks it's a worthy feature, but perhaps the pre-compiler should warn
people that they are relying on non-standard behaviour?
