Yeah it is possible to do it with another domonad block.  I just don't want 
to clutter up the code by repeating myself.

I made a macro do-state that introduces a new domonad block using the 
current state.  It works:

(defmacro do-state [bindings & r]
    `(fn [st] ( (domonad state-m ~bindings ~@r) st)))

(domonad state-m
 [a (fetch-val :a)
 _ (if a
   (do-state[ _ (update-state #(assoc % :b 2))
                                                          _ (update-state 
#(assoc % :b 2))]
                                                          nil)
   (m-result nil))
 ]
 nil)
