Err ... then 'don't do that' (TM). Seriously tho', that sort of issue should be resolved by defining the semantics of the DOM under mutations from arbitrary threads. For my money those semantics should be defined as 'undefined', and synchronization should be achieved via the use of synchronized wrappers (as seen in the Java2 collections API).
