yes. but i'm afraid that's by design.  we don't continuously evaluate
what you write in a buffer.  writing something by mistake in use-modules
would then pollute the whole namespace, invisibly if one later removes
the use-modules subclause.  maybe that flymake/flycheck function will do
that for you? (to be honest, it's not something i find natural, so i'd
add it to geiser only if someone else contributes it and it's an
opt-in).

sorry for not being more helpful! :)

cheers,
