An open bug, yes; hrm. Adding Mark Harig to the Cc, who had a plan for
fixing this.

Heh. Well, primitive-load is a load that doesn't autocompile, doesn't
load .go files, and doesn't run within a module excursion. The
%load-hook business is another bug, reported recently:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.devel/12259, but not yet
resolved. I'll see about fixing this shortly.
BTW, I see you are still on 2.0.0. How about beta testing one of these:
http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/guile-2-0/tarball/latest
2.0.1 will come out shortly, but it would be good if you could report
bugs on the snapshots.
Cheers,
Andy
