No, it's intentional -- if you do '(:pa-mixers), the code (:pa-mixers) 
is passed to the builder, but that can't work, as :pa-mixers is 
undefined (or a keyword, depending on how the Guile reader is 
configured).  If you do ''(:pa-mixers), the code '(:pa-mixers) is passed 
to the builder, as intended.

If you change ''(:pa-mixers) to '(pa-mixers), then I expect you'll get a 
build failure.

Greetings,
Maxime.
