I'm pretty new to v8, but I believe the exception you're hitting is because your code is accessing the v8 context before v8's lock was incremented. Common case for this would be if you have multiple threads attempting to use the context at the same time. Creating a local v8::Locker in your methods that are accessing context, (and HandleScope?) might resolve your problem.
I ran into a similar problem with a library I'm retrofitting, which embeds v8 within go. https://github.com/jasondelponte/go-v8. Since multiple "threads" could be accessing the context at once I needed to add the v8:Locker to prevent this. v8 can only be used by a single thread at a time. I believe the isolate allow multiple instances of v8 in different threads, but I haven't read enough about that yet to be very helpful there.
