Ah, good catch!  This was using the default .guile from before
2ba2c98d8aa695cce608313833a36c61b0fb3428.  I have verified that copying
the new .guile from /etc/skel works even without guile-readline
installed.

It would still be good with a better failure mode, but I'll file this
under "pebkac" for now.

Thanks!
