this will be moving to a github issue, and also I will attempt to
create a proof of concept.

Everything that happens inside of _memoized_attr__simple_lazy_clause
involves creating copies of things and the state of the loader
strategy is not modified until it's done.  There is one "unique=False"
flag set on existing bindparam objects, however if multiple threads
all did that at the same time, it doesn't change the outcome.    The
two elements of the tuple returned, "crtierion" and "params", need to
match, however these are returned as a tuple and that's what's
assigned; if two different threads both ran the method at the same
time, one would replace the other....but I guess the baked query is
getting the state of the earlier one cached in some way, but, I don't
see how the two generations are meaningfully different....but that's
where something would need to be failing.      Best option would be if
it's not a problem for this code to run concurrently, however we can
use the mapper._CONFIGURE_MUTEX for this, but there are probably a lot
of other places where this kind of thing can happen if the
introduction of baked + memoized attrs has this issue.
