I'm using 1.8.3 (from ubuntu repository)

Yes, when I'm evaluating it directly, everything works just fine.

I've found a possible reason, though. I didn't write that in
the module definition I also use syntax from (ice-9 syncase),
so it actually looks more like this:
(define-module (modules goose)
  :use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)
  :use-module (oop goops)
  :replace (slot-ref))

Now you should get the error right :)
(sorry for this understatement)

When I place (use-syntax (ice-9 syncase)) *after* the
slot-ref definition, it seems to work well.
