It's a bug.  I just checked in a patch.  Note that it would be
more efficient (as well as more portable) to use record-accessor
(assuming you save the result and re-use it).  Even better of
course is to use define-record-type, since that doesn't use
reflection (except for constructors, which is a performance bug).
