That means that if GnuCash version X is run for the first time on a particular machine after the date that a Scheme file is changed in git (which date is preserved in the tarball) then Guile won’t recognize the new file and will continue to use the cached compilation with predictable results.

Ah, that explains it.  Is it possible for GnuCash to determine that it
is being run for the first time after an upgrade and to delete the
cache?  Alternatively perhaps this is a packaging bug in that an
upgrade should delete the cache.
