The changed code is not protecting a traversal of a proc
struct member with a proc lock in two places.  What's hard
to imagine?

Even if it's weren't necessary to protect that FOREACH loop
(it's necessary; but even if it weren't...), locking the
proc could easily serialize a number of operations through
that or other code which could save it from interference.
