[racket] define-generics #:defaults

That's a bug. I'll push a fix shortly.

In the meantime, here's a workaround: instead of using #:defaults, you
can define for each method `m' (and for the predicate of the generic
interface), a function `m/defaults' that explicitly dispatches to the
default cases, then falls back to `m'. Then, export these functions,
renaming `m/defaults' to `m'.

Thanks for the report!
