As I had already explained to Christian off-list, cond-expand
is allowed at the top-level as the result of ticket #150.

The relevant text in the latest branch reads:

  A Scheme program consists of a sequence of
  program parts: expressions, definitions, syntax definitions,
  record type definitions, imports, cond-expands, and includes.

This is an oversight - thanks for bringing it up,
we'll add it to the BNF for programs.
