Okay.  I've tried some of the combinations of Guile, Ncurses and OS
and getwin/putwin is broken in different ways with different combinations.

No one uses those functions anyway, as far as I can tell.

I think the plan is to put out a guile-ncurses 1.7 that just eliminates
it.  And then soon, put out a guile-ncurses 2.0 that will require guile-2.0.11+
and ncurses 6.0+, and re-evaluate whether it is worth it to fix
those functions.

I'll try to put out guile-ncurses 1.7 this week.
