You are right. But now the record type is unknown at compile time.
So I also wrap the define-record-type expression into an 'eval-when'.

Then we arrive at the same error message which is displayed when
typing the #R-expression interactively:

=> ERROR: build-constant-store: unrecognized object
=> #<my-record one: "bla" two: "bobo">

This error message is not very informative. And in spite of an error the
record is built! You can see it in the error message but you can't use it.

Not yet tested ...  (soon ...)
