Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to express here.

The simple solution

(define-syntax-rule (← . args) (<- . args))

should really work. Maybe you have several files and you forgot to clear the 
bytecode cache? Keep in mind that Guile doesn't do dependency tracking: if file 
B uses a macro defined in file A and file A changes, B won't be recompiled 
automatically, and will use the expansions from the old macros until you clear 
the cache or use --no-auto-compile or similar. This is the only explanation I 
can think of for this part of your problem.
