No, the handlers of the lazy-catch execute in the same dynamic context
as the (throw ...) that started them.
I guess you are worried about what happens when the lazy handler tries
to enter the critical section (or another one that uses the same
mutex) again. I think this is covered by this from the manual:
When the current thread reenters the critical section anyway, the
kind of MUTEX determines what happens: When MUTEX is recursive,
the reentry is allowed. When it is a normal mutex, an error is
signalled.
