No, it wouldn't, because the import above brings in all of the
"scheme" library, renaming one procedure.  What you want is

(import (rename (only scheme string-length) (string-length byte-string-length)))

which imports just a single symbol, renaming it.  You need to be sure
to load the utf8 egg, perhaps with (use utf8), which both loads it and
imports it.
