This puzzled me, too, but I finally got a chance to install SWIG.

SWIG generates

 Scheme_Object *scheme_module_name(void) {
   return scheme_make_symbol((char*)"pltpgdb");
 }

which is wrong, because scheme_make_symbol() doesn't intern the symbol.
In other words, it generates a symbol that prints the same as 'pltpgdb,
but it's not `eq?' to 'pltpgdb.

Change the output of SWIG to use scheme_intern_symbol(), instead.
