If the IRQ happens while some task holds the scheduler lock, the answer
is yes, that is the point of it.
The scheduler lock is an ugly construct inherited from the dark ages of
RTOS. Xenomai being about properly emulating these for running legacy
code is the only reason why this anti-feature is present. I would
strongly recommend to use a mutual exclusion mechanism with a finer
granularity.
