This problem has already be reported a number of times. It appeared
very recently and seems to occurs specifically with guile-1.6.4 (I
reproduced it here). There does not seem to be any problem with
guile-1.4.

Can you please test that bug on older (1.6.3 to 1.6) releases of guile
too? So we can know if the problem is caused by a recent change in
texmacs or a recent change in guile.
