bug#48765: `member` from (scheme base) returns empty list instead of #f when item is not found

Default `member` works fine:

$ guile
> (member 'a '(b))
$1 = #f

However, using scheme base it returns empty list

$ guile --r7rs
> (import (scheme base))
> (member 'a '(b))
$1 = ()

Other functions (memq, memv) seem to work fine.
I am using version 3.0.5 as distributed by debian bullseye

In git main it appears to work but with a warning:

$ guile --r7rs
GNU Guile 3.0.7.13-c1fd55-dirty
...

scheme@(guile-user)> (import (scheme base))
scheme@(guile-user)> (member 'a '(b))
WARNING: (guile-user): imported module (scheme base) overrides core
binding `member'
$1 = #f
scheme@(guile-user)> (member 'a '(b a))
$2 = (a)

The fix for this was part of the 3.0.6 release. :-)

Older report on the same bug:

https://bugs.gnu.org/43304

The warning can be safely ignored, and I believe it won't appear
when writing an R7RS library using 'define-library'.

Closing this report but feel free to ask further questions.

Looks like the first attempt didn't take.  Trying again.
