But popping arguments when returning from the TRAP condition can actually lead to a segfault because it would access memory beyond the stack zone.

Looking at the patch via github's awful web interface it looks like
it will cause the 'is_recursive' variable to be conditionally defined
and possibly used uninitialized (at least as far as GCC will be able
to tell).  Thus, NAK for now.

I would have provided the fix but you didn't include the patch in the
email so I can't.
