Although I sometimes see this error message even when I'm not messing with
hygiene.

Eg.

(define-syntax id
  (let-syntax ((never-used (syntax-rules ())))
    (syntax-rules ()
      ((_ e) e))))

compile: bad syntax; function application is not allowed, because no #%app
syntax transformer is bound in: (syntax-rules ())

Is this a bug perhaps?  Scheme48 happens to accept it.
