Steve, this seems to be a readline issue on OS X.  I ran into the same
problem recently and never did get it sorted out.  See this thread for
details.

http://osdir.com/ml/bug-guile-gnu/2011-02/msg00140.html

As noted in the thread, my workaround was to remove readline from my
.guile file and use emacs+paredit+geiser when I need an interactive
session.  That works pretty well, but, still, it would be nice to be
able to invoke guile from a terminal and have readline support.

Cheers,
Mike
