Well, I would regard SYNTAX-RULES as a keyword local to
DEFINE-SYNTAX. SYNTAX-RULES itself is not exported by SCHEME. So the
behaviour you observe is the same as in

(define-structure strange
  (export)
  (open (with-prefix scheme scheme/))
  (begin (scheme/define foo (scheme/cond (else 3)))))

where ELSE is not renamed.
