I, for one, cannot find fault with your suggestion, and look forward to
the pending releases of ERR6RS (and likely ERERR5RS) to handle this

Hopefully they will also accept my suggestion to make normal-order

applicative-order orthodoxy.  I think this would quite go hand-in-hand
with your bugfix.

And appropriate seasonally appropriate holiday wishes to all from me as
