We need to change the test-suite, then.

No, I think it's the best we can do with the present system.

Does this have to be a macro?  I would like it better to be a function
(like scm_misc_error) and a thinly wrapped function (like
SCM_MISC_ERROR).

Can we use scm_simple_format here?  That would avoid the 1024 limit
and would also feel more gentle since we don't need to poke into the
strings private parts.
