I was using one syntax-rule, which I replaced with the code the rule
was generating.  It did not fix the problem.  I do use letrec in the
compiler output, is that a macro expansion?

I may be using strip-syntax incorrectly.  It is the runtime of the
compiler that creates the argument list to pass to transform.  I
modified the runtime to call strip-syntax on the key names as they
are being collected into the argument list.  So to be clear, this
doesn't affect the output of the compiler, only the runtime as the
parser parses input and calls transform.

That didn't work either.  :-(

If I could wrap this example up and check in my egg, would you help
me diagnose the problem?
