It's expected. We haven't done anything with Guile2. Heck, we just
got rid of the Guile 1.6 dependencies in trunk. I'm afraid you're
stuck with having to have both versions installed for awhile.

If you are adventurous though, you could try to build GnuCash from
trunk. I have applied a number of patches by Andy Wingo [1] that
should make GnuCash work with Guile 2. It would be a nice test to
see if that actually works.
Standard disclaimer: note that such an attempt is at your own risk.
Trunk is not considered production quality and using it may cause
crashes and data loss.
If you want to try it and have further questions, I suggest you
subscribe to the gnucash-devel list and post your findings there.
Just out of curiosity I gave this a try today. I got it to build ok,
but it doesn't run since SWIG hasn't been updated to work with Guile2.
There seems to be some progress on this, however [1] so there's hope.
