This test case was added by Dirk in on 26 April 2004:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/guile/guile-core/test-suite/tests/syntax.test?root=guile&view=log#rev1.33

The commit message is interesting. It is also when he reordered the
lines in scm_m_define. I do think that its intention fails though; to me
the above is not valid Scheme.
