Does it work if you omit the quote?  In other words, like this:

(readline-set! bounce-parens 50)

(For some reason, possibly analogy with set!, the xxx-enable and
xxx-disable procedures of the options interface take a quoted option
name, but xxx-set! takes its option name unquoted.)

The manual has examples which show this, but it isn't explicit on the
point.

I probably can't help here, but what OS and Guile version are you
using?
