You are using Guile 1.4, the Reference Manual documents the behaviour
of current CVS Guile.  The NEWS file for upcoming Guile 1.6 says:

  ** Module (ice-9 optargs) now uses keywords instead of `#&'.

  Instead of #&optional, #&key, etc you should now use #:optional,
  #:key, etc.  Since #:optional is a keyword, you can write it as just
  :optional when (read-set! keywords 'prefix) is active.

  The old reader syntax `#&' is still supported, but deprecated.  It
  will be removed in the next release.
