This is expected but not ideal. Our primitive evaluator does not
preserve non-toplevel variable names, and therefore the associated
procedure names are lost. Maybe we can fix this in Guile 2.2.

The reason this last one works is because the .go file was created in
the preceding compiled runs, and --no-auto-compile does not inhibit the
use of pre-existing .go files (unless the .scm file is newer, of
course).
