The question is still open, AFAICT: is the pre-fix problem something
that is fine to have in an r5/7rs?  According to John, your bug fix
was not needed.

Chibi being compliant or not is really something that never bothered
me...  Whether its (past) problem is a problem wrt the language
specification did.  (And even that was very mild.)

[That's fine, I never talked about the merits of having it as a
feature or not.  I know how it's natural and pleasing (cont.), how
it's useful, and how people usually hate it (second-class).  So I
don't have a strong opinion on *that* question...]
