It could be that there is an issue regarding compile-time versus
run-time;

  http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Eval-When.html

If you put this at the top of your file, before any use-modules or
anything like that, does it work?

  (eval-when (eval load compile)
    (fluid-set!  %default-port-encoding "iso-8859-1"))

You might need to run with --auto-compile=fresh to invalidate the
caches.
