Maybe you are using separate Gnulib checkout with GNULIB_TOOL envvar?  I
usually do that too, to avoid redundant git clone after git clean.
(Perhaps we may want to consider using git submodule in Gettext, by the
way).

What's your guile version?  I remember someone reported this before, but
I wasn't able to reproduce it at that time.  Now I can repeat it with:

* guile-2.0 package on Debian unstable (GNU Guile 2.0.5-deb+1-3)

while I can't with:

* guile-1.8 package on Debian unstable (Guile 1.8.8)
* guile on Fedora 19 (guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.9)
* git master (guile (GNU Guile) 2.1.0.18-510ca)

So I suspect it was a bug in guile fixed in 2.0.5 to 2.0.9.
