This looks ill-formed to me. Inside e_body, there is only one x_fun bound, so 
x_fun ... doesn't make
sense.
This would make sense if you had a multi-argument functions, e.g.,
   (prog (defun (x_fun x ...) e_body #:refers-to (shadow x ...)) ...
         e_main))

You're trying to express a more complicated binding pattern than merely a list 
of binders.
This is expressing that each definition d inside (prog d ...) exports a name 
that is bound for all other definitions.
You need #:exports.
Maybe something like
   (defun (x_fun x ...) e_body #:refers-to (shadow x ...)) #:exports x_fun
   (prog d #:...bind (defs d (shadows defs d))))

This may not be quite right yet.

(Unfortunately, there is a known bug in Redex that #...bind is undocumented, so 
you had no way to know about this)
