This bug was introduced here:

    commit 0fb81f95b0222c5ba49efd3e36cf797df54c0863

    add exception_on_error optional arg to primitive-load-path

Before, "didit" would be #f after a failed primitive-load-path, and
afterwards control proceeded to set it to #t.

Somehow we need to fix try-module-autoload to detect failure, which
seems to indicate that we should not be passing exception_on_error=#f to
primitive-load-path.

The following patch seems to fix it for me.  WDYT?
