So what are the rules here, exactly?  I'd like to write them down in
the commentary to emacs-module.c, so that any future changes there

I guess the rules are that if emacs-module.c calls a function without worrying about whether it can signal, then that function shouldn't signal. I'm not trying to be flippant here, just realistic. If you like I suppose you could list in emacs-module.c the functions that you think cannot throw signals. But perhaps it'd be better to wrap all calls to such functions in a wrapper that is ordinarily a no-op, but which dumps core if a signal occurs while debugging.
