I haven't been following this thread terribly closely, so I hope this question 
isn't off-base.
 
Is there a version of picolisp that runs on 80386/80486/80586 'bare metal' (or 
at least 'bare VM') -- talking directly to a HW serial port and reading from a 
FAT file system?

Good, but isn't miniPicoLisp plan vanilla C anyway? I think it uses only stdio
library functions.

Yes. Coroutines are very nice in some situations, but with more programming
effort you can always implement a conventional solution instead.

I agree with both statements.
