I'm trying to reproduce your problem on a smaller test case (by taking  
snippets from the source code at http://github.com/marcomaggi/nausicaa/tree/master/uriel/libraries/uriel/lang.sls 
  ), but so far have failed to reproduce the compiler error.

Does the problem also go away if you get rid of the invocations of the  
defer-exceptions macro?  Is there a particular invocation that the  
problem is strongly tied to?  (I just want to confirm that this is a  
problem dealing with the results of expansion, as opposed to the  
definition of the defer-exceptions macro itself.)
