I agree it's a bug, but it also appears to be one we've had for a
while.  I believe guile 1.4 had the same problem.  For that reason I
hadn't been strongly inclined to consider it release critical since
1.5.7 was ready to go.  However since I'm waiting to upload anyway
I'll go see how extensive the changes to fix it might be.

BTW: I don't think we can compile with with warnings treated as errors
anyhow in 1.5.* -- I believe num2*.c still prevents it.
