I'm using version 2.1 pulled from git, maybe a few days or week before the bug was opened.

What version of Guile are you using?  With 2.0.13, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (open-file "/tmp/lg" 'w')
ERROR: In procedure open-file:
ERROR: In procedure open-file: Value out of range: w'
