Thanks for reporting that bug.  This prompted me to review the code
again, which I noticed several more bugs in.  I could swear I tested my
last modifications before I committed them, but it seems that there was
quite a bit that was somewhat broken.  I've attached a new reference
implementation, which is much less buggy & which I've moved into the
public domain.

(What other Scheme systems did you find implemented SRFI 43 from
scratch, by the way?  The only system I know of that already boasts
SRFI 43 support is Chicken, and there it's just a modification of an
old version of my reference implementation.)
