I'm not sure that this is a bug. I found this while using define-namespace-anchor.
When I run this program I get an unexpected !!hi.1 symbol in the list of namespace-mapped-symbols. (All the variable names begin with !! so they are easy to sort in the list.) The variable !!hi is defined inside a macro, so I expect that it should not be visible from the module namespace. And I can't use namespace-variable-value to get the value of !!hi.1 . Also, if I define a "real" !!hi.1 outside the macro, then there are two !!hi.1 symbols in the list.
