I think I have fixed this in git. Now the result it:

$ meta/guile /tmp/foo.scm 
;;; note: autocompilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
;;;       or pass the --no-autocompile argument to disable.
;;; compiling /tmp/foo.scm
;;; WARNING: compilation of /tmp/foo.scm failed:
;;; key syntax-error, throw_args (define-module "unknown keyword or bad 
argument" #f #:export should-be-a-list)
Syntax error:
unknown location: define-module: unknown keyword or bad argument in subform 
should-be-a-list of #:export

Of course, the error can still be better, but it's an improvement.

Cheers,

Andy
