I assume reentry here means the ability to acquire a lock more than once in the same thread without blocking.

No, this module doesn't currently support reentrancy and will never be able to, because JavaScript is single-threaded and rwlock cannot possibly tell between a different thread trying to acquire the lock and the same thread trying to acquire an already acquired one. All the code comes from the same thread.
