I was going to propose a workaround with an option to change vm-i-loader.c:43 and vm-i-loader.c:115 to use a scm_i_mutable_string_literals_p instead of 1, but that really seems like the path to perdition: previously compiled modules would start creating mutable strings where they really shouldn't.
Instead, long-standing, previously written code was invalidated with 1.9, even if we were not smacked down until 2.0.1. Just because an obscure-to-those-not-living-and-breathing-Scheme-daily document said it was okay doesn't make it okay to those whacked by it. I would think recompiling should not be a great burden, *ESPECIALLY* given that it is a recent invention and therefore likely to have some initial issues that need dealing with. Like this, for example.
