I don't think digging deeper is worth the trouble.

unthreaded works fine with Devel::PPPort-3.58 back to 5.8.1
threaded fails only in 5.8.2

*IF* action is required, I'd rather make an exception in Makefile.PL to
exclude support for threaded 5.8.2. Personally, I'd raise the minimum
version to 5.8.3
