I think this is more a matter of the documentation being not quite right:
-- Scheme Procedure: thunk? obj
-- C Function: scm_thunk_p (obj)
Return ‘#t’ if OBJ is a thunk—a procedure that does not accept
arguments.
"if OBJ can serve as a thunk—a procedure called without arguments."

In Scheme, symbols can be compared using eq? for equality. However,
since they have garbage-collected content attached, they do not meet the
predicate SCM_IMP in the short-circuit evaluation at the start of equal?
This means that unequal symbols compared using equal? fall through a
whole bunch
With guile-3.0.2:
scheme@(guile-user)> (thunk? (const 1))
$1 = #t
Since thunk is a procedure that does not accept arguments (section
6.9.7, documentation for 'thunk?'), the result of the above evaluation
should be #f.
In guile-3.0.2 manual, section 6.9.3 Compiled Procedures, there is:
Compiled procedures, also known as “programs”, respond all procedures
that operate on procedures. In addition, there are a few more accessors
for low-level details on programs.
The first compound sentence doesn't make much
