I define class object as

    (module-define! (current-module) '<struct-foo>
        (make <class> #:dsupers (list <object>) #:slots ...))

and after just

(define-method (equal? x y)
  ((@ (guile) equal?) x y))

(define-method (equal? (this <object>) (other <object>))
  (let* ((class_ (class-of this))
	 (slots (map car (class-slots class_))))
    (define (slot-values instance)
      (map (cute slot-ref instance <>) slots))
    (if (eq? class_ (class-of other))
	(false-if-exception (equal? (slot-values this) (slot-values other)))
      #f)))

I do not know, why first one `equal?` is needed, but otherwise guile
complained, that no method is present to compare two lists.

Interesting enough, I created simple module, and behaves as it should.
Maybe you have some wild guess about class being defined not via macro?
