[racket] Bug with equal? and bit-vectors

Just in case anyone isn't clear on this, I believe there was a issue
on github that contained the fix and that has been put into the
development version of Racket already. Certainly the version of
DrRacket I've been typing into all day long gets the example at the
top of thread right.
