Thanks, that was indeed the cause.

I was close though - I used syntax-case* with free-identifier=?
in the old code, but hadn't replaced the old lambda and #%app
with #%plain-lambda and #%plain-app.

Since the wrapping of top-level forms involves no keywords, why not
let the wrapping be

    (#%plain-app call-with-values ($%plain-lambda () (if '1 '2 '3))
print-values)

rather than

    (#%app call-with-values (lambda () (if '1 '2 '3)) print-values)

?
