   The problem is that Guile strings cannot contain null characters.

FWIW, Guile 1.4.x can:

string> (string #\nul)
"^@"

   It may be a design flaw in Guile-WWW, which abuses strings to
   store binary data.

I see it rather as using a Guile feature that was subsequently
removed (much after the design of Guile-WWW was done).  Looks
like we'll need to add an ./configure check for Guile-WWW for
such situations...
