If anyone wants to install a guile-bash that can read arguments with 
whitespace, and newlines, you can install it like this:

wget -O /tmp/patch.temp http://paste.debian.net/plain/1223545 ; guix 
package --with-patch=guile-bash=/tmp/patch.temp -i guile-bash

Then prepare it like this for example:

------------------------------------------
$ export GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
$ enable -f ~/.guix-profile/lib/bash/libguile-bash.so scm
$ cat <<'EOF'>/tmp/printargs.scm
(use-modules
  (gnu bash))
(define-bash-function (printargs file1 file2)
     (display file1)
     (display "\n")
     (display file2)
     (display "\n"))
EOF
$ scm /tmp/printargs.scm
-------------------------

And then use the guile function from bash like this:

-------------------------
~$ printargs "apa bepa" cepa
apa bepa
cepa
~$ echo "$apa"
aba
aca
~$ printf '%s\0' "$apa" bepa | printargs -z
aba
aca
bepa
~$ echo "$apa" | printargs
aba
aca
-------------------------

Closing this bug now.
