Could it be this from NEWS:

  ** Better locale support in Guile scripts

  When Guile is invoked directly, either from the command line or via a
  hash-bang line (e.g. "#!/usr/bin/guile"), it now installs the current
  locale via a call to `(setlocale LC_ALL "")'.  For users with a unicode
  locale, this makes all ports unicode-capable by default, without the
  need to call `setlocale' in your program.  This behavior may be
  controlled via the GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE environment variable; see the
  manual for more.
