This is really odd and I cannot reproduce this.  I wonder if this might
be related to some unusual file system choices or settings that cause
Guile to think that the source files are more recent.

You showed us this example output:

Can you show us the mtime of these files?  In my case both the scm and
the go files all have their mtime as 1970-01-01 01:00:01.000000000
+0100.
