I'm not proposing doing anything with substring=?.  The discussion
came up when I wrongly used substring=? in my code and thought it was
a bug.  After reading and reflecting on what the documentation says, I
understand that substring=? is not buggy (although I still think it is
a bit convoluted).

IMO, the SRFI-13 string= is far easier to understand, because it specifies two strings and two start/end pairs.
