Yes, I agree that we should do somehting about this, even when the
general problem still remains unaddressed.

User code should only use scm_numerator and scm_denominator to access
parts of the fraction object and those functions will first reduce the
fraction (in a thread safe way).  Wouldn't that be enough?
