Some use of the "assert" macro now has line-number information and tries
to string-append the "msg" argument to the file/lineno info string.
Apparently "assert" is called with a non-string "msg" argument, but I
can't disentangle the complex macros used in "contracts".

Might be caused by setup-download.scm:408, but that is just a guess.
