All I could think of is backquote, which seems pretty gross.
(make-thread
`(lambda ()
(let ((default-directory ,default-directory))
...)))
I'm not really a fan of the Bordeaux approach either though.
Better to have a convenience macro, I think.

It occurs to me now that even lexically bound code will use some
variables which are always dynamic. It still seems odd not to capture
these.
