Module build failed with thread-loader for javascript modules

Describe the bug
When javascript modules build with thread-loader, building fails with the error:

ERROR in ./.storybook/generated-entry.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/thread-loader/dist/cjs.js):
Thread Loader (Worker 0)

Additional context
I guess that webpack-virtual-modules plugin

storybook/lib/core/src/server/preview/iframe-webpack.config.js

Lines 52 to 60 in 3bcaaeb

    
                   ? new VirtualModulePlugin({ 
        
                       [path.resolve(path.join(configDir, `generated-entry.js`))]: ` 
        
                         import { configure } from '@storybook/${framework}'; 
        
                         module._StorybookPreserveDecorators = true; 
        
                         configure([${stories.map(toRequireContextString).join(',')} 
        
                         ], module); 
        
                       `, 
        
                     })

is not compatible with thread-loader.

Hey there, it's me again! I am going close this issue to help our maintainers focus on the current development roadmap instead. If the issue mentioned is still a concern, please open a new ticket and mention this old one. Cheers and thanks for using Storybook!

Still seeing this issue running Storybook@latest, webpack@latest, and thread-loader@latest

Same for @nuxtjs/storybook!
