I think, but I'm not sure, that these ids are once introduced by
earlier stages of the compiler. I use free-vars after I convert to ANF
form. ANF introduces names for many intermediate values and these
identifiers have binding #f. (I get those identifiers from
generate-temporaries.)

I just looked up the docs for identifier-binding and see what you say.
I'm not sure what the right answer is. These identifiers are *not*
bound at the top-level. Perhaps because I don't fully expand again
after introducing them their binding status is not marked when
free-vars walks over them?
