The *server* is not hung. Only modifications to the cn=config DB are blocked.

Yes it is.

That is, the 2nd mod to cn=config blocks, and that's fine by me, except _then_ the server is hung.

Ah, the 2nd cn=config mod has requested a pause, which can't succeed until all background threads complete. And no new threads will be run while a pause is being requested. This was the safest approach, considering that a config change could alter/remove context out from under running threads otherwise.
