Assuming that that gives the expected output, i.e.

--(display "foo")--
----

my next suggestion would be to run under GDB, with a breakpoint on
scm_shell().  The invocation for doing that is

./pre-inst-guile-env ./libtool --mode=execute gdb libguile/guile -c '(display "foo")'

In scm_shell, I would expect:
argc to be 3
argv[1] to be "-c"
argv[2] to be "(display \"foo\")"
scm_get_meta_args () to return 0
and hence not to execute the "if (new_argv)" block of code.

Can you check those points?
