I'd agree, if I could reproduce it

scheme@(guile−user)> (use-modules (ice-9 optargs))
(define* (foo #:optional (bar "baz"))
"Docs go here"
(define (frob p) (display p) (newline))
(frob bar))
(foo)
baz
scheme@(guile−user)> ,describe foo
Docs go here
scheme@(guile−user)> 

Which version are you using? I'm on current stable-2.0(e7b2efd)
