I've been playing with this (not recently though, one or two years
ago).
I've also experienced the "continuation called across trap" phenomenon.
However, I also made a try with the 1.9 branch... and cross-fork
continuations were working there! Hopefully it's still working, I
suggest
you to make a try with that.
