Here is something that works with 1.5.8 and CVS HEAD.  I don't know
whether it works with the 1.4 series, tho.  Is it similar enough to
what you are doing?

    (define-module (python syntax)
      :use-syntax (ice-9 syncase))

    (define-syntax foo
      (syntax-rules ()
        ((_ a)
         (display a))))

    (define-module (test))

    (define python-toplevel (make-module))
    (beautify-user-module! python-toplevel)
    (module-use! python-toplevel (resolve-module '(python syntax)))

    (eval '(foo "hi\n") python-toplevel)

Running it produces:

    $ guile -s x.scm
    hi

Thus, it seems that no additional tricks are needed, which is a good
thing.
