Also interesting: I can primitive-eval the code:
(define code '(define (fn l)
  (define (ok l)
    (or (and (pair? l) l)
      (error "list is empty")))
  (cons (reverse (car l)) (ok l))))

(primitive-eval code)

(fn '((1 2))) ;; => ((2 1) (1 2))

What might be happening here is control flow analysis discarding
impossible branches:

(car l) will throw an error when l is not a pair. Since arguments are
evaluated in order, (ok l) will always succeed. This means (ok l) can be
replaced by l.

To look into details:

(compile code) ;; => throws an error: not found 22
;; use ,bt to get:

,bt

I’ll leave further steps to folks who are more experienced with
optimize-higher-order-cps (or want to become more experienced with it).
