For what it's worth, a small example I struck tickling the (or a)
problem in this area is

	(define my-macro
	  (procedure->memoizing-macro
	   (lambda (expr env)
	     (list 'let expr))))
	(my-macro 1 2 3)

The let generated is obviously wrong.  I suspected the memoizing or
something creates a circular list, or something, which has trouble
printing or unmemoizing, or something.

I think it should be pretty important to get even the worst and most
obvious flaws printing successfully under --debug, since of course one
is using that option because it's apparently not obvious what's wrong
:-).
