Hmm. Someone told me on IRC that comint-dynamic-complete-filename was
working for him... actually, i've just tried using it in a REPL and in a
Scheme buffer in Emacs 24, and it seems to work for me: what i did is
rewriting geiser-completion--for-filename in geiser-completion.el as:

  (defun geiser-completion--for-filename ()
    (when (geiser-syntax--in-string-p)
    (comint-dynamic-complete-filename)))

Is that what is giving you an error?  Possibly the implementation of
that same function in Emacs 23 is different, though... What happens if
you call it directly? (with or something like that M-:).

It was introduced in Emacs 24.1.

HTH,
