This is a bug in DrScheme. It'll be fixed for v299 (can't be fixed
right now, since DrScheme is still in shambles due to unicode
translation, but I've added a test case so I won't forget -- thanks!)

The correct answer is just 1. The reason: toplevel begin should behave
as if the expressions were just entered sequentially into the REPL.

In this case, this is correct response. The arguments (and the function
position) of an application should produce exactly one value (not zero,
like in this case).
