This is because Apache/mod_perl 2.x use a threaded proccess model. Threads are not supported by Embperl 2.x yet. Theoreticaly you can limit the number of Perl interpreters that mod_perl uses to 1. In this case you are in the same situation as with mod_perl 1, which means only one Embperl request is processed at a time. To get it working some adjustments to the build script need to be done, so it compiles with Apache / mod_perl 2, but this shouldn't be to hard. The real solution would be to make Embperl threadsafe. Some work in this direction is already done, but some more work in the internals still need to be done. Since I personaly don't use Embperl on Windows currently, I have no plans to implement the thread support at the moment. In case it's important for you, of course we can implement it for you via our payed commercial support.
