Yes, that is exactly the reason. This is a known problem and fixed in
CVS Guile.
As a workaround, you would need to unpack the archive on a Unix-like
system and then copy it to your Windows machine, renaming and-let*.scm
to and-let-star.scm. After that, in the copied file, change the line
(define-module (ice-9 and-let*))
to
(define-module (ice-9 and-let-star))
and use
(use-modules (ice-9 and-let-star))
if you want to use that module.
Or, if you do not need that source file, simply ignore it. Guile
itself does not depend on it (AFAIK).
