If this is with Guile 1.6.x, I think the behaviour is caused by losing
source properties when an `if' expression is memoized. To investigate
this, can you see if the following patch solves the problem?

With Guile 1.8 or CVS, I find that the breakpoint doesn't even work
the first time! I'm still looking into that.

Where did you place the new breakpoint?

OK, you've persuaded me on this - but I'm not sure it addresses the
whole problem. I still think it might be useful to be able to set a
breakpoint on a procedure by doing C-x SPC anywhere in the procedure's
definition - which conflicts with your backward-up-list
interpretation. What do you recommend?

I agree with on these two points.
