I realize this is really late :)  But since this thread isn't linked to
a bug, note that this is now fixed in stable-2.0 and master, to match
the behavior in Guile 1.8 and previous, which is actually that:

  (foo-a (make <bar>)) => error!

because <bar> doesn't just define a different init-value for the slot,
it defines a different slot entirely.
