@emixa-d kindly proposed something that turned out to be a fix:
https://github.com/wingo/fibers/issues/29#issuecomment-1858922276
i've sent it to:
shepherd: sometimes hangs on `guix system reconfigure`
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67839#6
in essence:
shepherd violates the fibers API by calling it from an async signal handler, and this is an issue indeed, but the bugs caused by this should manifest rarely and randomly; i.e. the frozen recofigure behavior must be caused by something else.
the actual root cause here was that the with-process-monitor parameterize was not covering some code that it should have.
