The problem is that `#%module-begin' from `mzscheme' inserts

   (require-for-syntax mzscheme)

into a module using the `mzscheme' language. Since `newlang' re-exports
MzScheme's `#%module-begin', bodies of modules using `newlang' also get
the above line.

To get rid of it, change `newlang' to

(module newlang mzscheme
  (provide (all-from-except mzscheme #%top #%module-begin))
  (provide (rename top #%top)
           (rename #%plain-module-begin #%module-begin))
  ...)
