That message isn't from Guard Malloc. It's actually from the QuickLook.framework, printed from down inside a function called _QLLockDatabaseWaitForUpdateToFinishIfPossible(), when it times out waiting for the QuickLook updating thread to finish. That QuickLook database updating is apparently used by various QuickLook UTI management functions.
I would presume that your program runs slower under Guard Malloc due to the additional kernel / VM activity involved, thus triggering that QuickLook database update thread timeout.
I don't know anything about how QuickLook works or how your program interacts with it, so I can't say whether "it will still work properly" or not. But since it's not from Guard Malloc directly I wouldn't worry about it if it isn't appearing to cause ill effects.
