I appreciate your R7RS debugging effort. Thanks!

I believe you’re mistaken. At least, the manual says:
-- syntax: export variable ...
Add all VARIABLEs (which must be symbols or pairs of symbols) to
the list of exported bindings of the current module. If VARIABLE
is a pair, its ‘car’ gives the name of the variable as seen by the
current module and its ‘cdr’ specifies a name for the binding in
the current module’s public interface.
Using pairs in Guile’s ‘export’ (or ‘#:export’ in ‘define-module’)
should be the same as ‘rename’ from R7RS.
HTH!
