Here's a smaller version of your bug:

  (module baz (lib "r5rs.ss" "r5rs"))
  (require baz)
  (module qux mzscheme)

or even shorter:

  (require (lib "r5rs.ss" "r5rs"))
  (module qux mzscheme)

The thing is that "r5rs/r5rs.ss" is not a well behaved module -- if
you look in the source, you'll see that it changes a few global
parameters to provide an r5rs environment.  The most obvious problem
is that it's doing this:

  (current-namespace (scheme-report-environment 5))

which is changing the following interactions.  The reason it's there
is to be able to run

  mzscheme -M r5rs

and get an R5RS-version of mzscheme.  If you want to use R5RS in a
module, use (lib "lang.ss" "r5rs") instead.

This is all described in the doc.txt file, and I added a warning now
for not using r5rs.ss like you did.
