in thread Thread sharing a bit vector??

Think your XS could alleviate my problem

As it currently exists, it does not support the full range of operations you require.

It could be extended to do so, but it would require some considerable effort to do so in a portable manner as it currently relies on Windows-specific memory management and MS Compiler intrinsic semantics.

or do you think I just need to be more creative with how I manage thread-local data?

I'm sorry to say that I don't believe that threads::shared is currently capable of doing what you need it to do. Because of that modules internal implementation, sharing large volumes of data across threads is not currently a viable option.

The only viable solution to your description that I am aware of at this time would be to use a PostgreSQL DB and its BitString types & operators.
