Thanks for the report, Shiro!

I have to investigate Racket's behavior.  In 11.3.2 of the Racket
reference, it says: "If a continuation is captured during the
evaluation of parameterize, invoking the continuation effectively
re-introduces the parameterization, since a parameterization is
associated to a continuation via a continuation mark (see Continuation
Marks) using a private key."  This seems to be consistent with SRFI
226 and its sample implementation, but not consistent with your Racket
experiments.
