I was never able to reproduce this bug.  I suspect it was either
specific to your system or to Debian, but in any case this seems to work
now on Debian jessie, according to Rob Browning (maintainer of the Guile
package on Debian).

Rob closed the Debian bug report, and I'm closing it on our end also.
Feel free to reopen it if you think there's still a problem.

    Thanks!
