Can't this be simplified to

  (define (no-follow-file-exists? file)
    (false-if-exception (lstat file)))

?  Also, do you want to ignore _all_ exceptions, or only the ENOENT and
maybe ENOTDIR system-error?

(catch 'system-error
  (lambda () (lstat file) #t)
  (lambda e
    (if its-a-ENOFILE
        #f
        (apply throw e))))

More concretely, why is ENOMEM, ENAMETOOLONG and EACCESS ignored here?
