D'oh - please excuse brain-fart when typing up the original message.
I mis-remembered the program flow when I was stepping through in gdb
on my development system notebook.

For the rest of the question, I've done some digging now and found
module/scripts/compile.scm in and worked out how to set up the call in
the API to emulate the #opts keyword parameter in a
$guile compile
statement from within code.  This has enabled me to move on without
having to use throw/catch blocks, which partly informed the original
question ( I was trying to catch 'unbound-variable throws during
compilation from within C++).

I've now hit another little problem, but I'll ask about that one in a
new thread.

Cheers,

Ian
