I wonder if this is related to bug 13865.

I tried a script with these contents:

  (define (eval-case val)
    val)

  (define var (eval-case 2))

And I can reproduce the bug with stable-2.0.  `master' seems to have the
right behavior however.  If I had to guess I would think that this was
fixed by the following commit on `master':

    commit 19ef14f9b8b73c04acbbfa6bd993908171bc69f7

    defined identifiers scoped in the current module
    
    * ice-9/psyntax.scm (chi-top-sequence): Wrap defined identifiers with
      the current module.  Fixes http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31472.

Or one of the commits around it that has to do with toplevel bindings.
Tough to tell, as that code is significantly different in master as
compared to stable-2.0.
