Thats an interesting approach, very sophisticated. However, the direct use of
the "get_msgr()" function would solve the problem as well. :)
For explanation: the messenger module creates pipes, locks and
subprocesses and somehow you cant use them when the object that
contains them should be serialized.
The error is that Python lock objects should only be shared between
processes through inheritance.
The problem is IMHO not related to ctypes, since ctypes is used in the
subprocess that communicates via pipes with the messenger (main
process).

Ctypes is IMHO not the problem here, since it is used in the messenger
subprocess.
No GRASS library function is called in the main Python process.
This is a principal design of an RPC approach.

The decorator looks nice, but using get_msgr() that uses a singleton
approach directly should work as well.
It is important that messenger objects are NOT part of objects that
should be serialized.
Hence do not:
self._msgr = get_msgr()
self._msgr.debug(0, "Hello")
Use instead:
get_msgr().debug(0, "Hello")
Or like this:
from grass.pygrass.messages import get_msgr as msgr
msgr().message("Hallo")
