Just to clarify:

I am not saying that I think this is a bug, at least not in the sense 
that the output from the printer is unacceptable.  Indeed, the output 
seems to be perfectly legitimate syntax that could then be fed into a 
standard Scheme reader.

I just thought that the output seemed confusing.

MzScheme does seem to do the "right" thing on expressions like:
 > (syntax-object->datum #'(cons '1 (cons 'unquote '(3))))

So maybe this just goes to show that you really really shouldn't be 
writing code like:
 > (let (,2) (cons '1 (cons . ,'(3))))
