Awesome. I needed something like that once, too, down to the same type
signature for the fork function. Here's an instance from my code:

instance MonadFork (ReaderT s IO) where
    fork newT = ask >>= liftIO . forkIO . runReaderT newT

since you seem to be using mtl, feel free to integrate it in some form
if you like, small though it is. ReaderT over concurrent primitives is
nice because forking is just that easy. I just used MVars for my state
monad; yours is better (more sophisticated).

Cheers,
Matt
