Yes, I've observed that too, when running the "make distcheck" on my
own machine.  My guess is that pre-inst-guile is picking up a copy of
libguile-i18n-v-0 from somewhere else (i.e. /usr/lib or
/usr/local/lib), but I haven't got to the bottom of this yet, and
that's why I haven't yet committed the above change to CVS.

That said, I might commit the above change tonight provisionally, to
see if it helps the snapshot.
