I'm not using Emacs nor your mode, but why should it fail?
This works:

      ⎕FX 'λ←avg ⍵' 'λ←(+/⍵)÷⍴⍵'
avg

And so does this:

      ∇avg
[1] [0]λ←avg ⍵
[1] λ←(+/⍵)÷⍴⍵
[2] ∇

User can not start editing a new function writing ∇λ←avg ⍵, but there
is nothing preventing user from changing this header or making more than
one statement inside a function even if it was initially defined with
dfn syntax (so you can not assume that if it starts with λ then it has
only one statement).

This might not have been intended to work, but it does! :)

      avg ← {(+/⍵)÷⍴⍵}
      ∇avg[⎕]
[0] λ←avg ⍵
[1] λ←(+/⍵)÷⍴⍵
[2] [0] λ←avg ⍵;z
[1] z←+/⍵
[2] λ←z÷⍴⍵
[3] ∇
      ⎕CR'avg'
λ←avg ⍵;z
z←+/⍵    
λ←z÷⍴⍵
