I'm very happy that you were able to extract information from the
MzScheme manual. :) Still, I've adjusted the wording from "primitives"
to "procedures" so that you don't have to check which functions are
"primitive". I had to add an "Unless otherwise noted" clause, because
`equal?'-based hash tables are not kill-safe.

Meanwhile, I added text to explain that all constant-time procedures
provided by MzScheme are thread-safe, because they are atomic.

So, to confirm the answer to the original question: yes, vector
operations are thread-safe.
