This was fixed in CVS revision 1.43 of xscheme.el a while ago.  Still broken downstream in GNU Emacs, though.

When xscheme mode prompts the user for a response in the minibuffer (e.g. when specifying a variable value in a restart call), GNU Emacs 21.4 responds to any input with the error "input must be a single, complete expression", and refuses to accept anything.

The problem seems to be that the call to parse-partial-sexp on line 1229 of xemacs.el tries to parse the whole minibuffer (including the prompt!). As a workaround, changing (point-min) to (minibuffer-prompt-end) in the call to xscheme-region-expression-p on line 1219 seems to work fine. I'm not sure how portable this is though, as minibuffer-prompt-end was apparently only introduced in GNU Emacs 21...
