The R5RS specification doesn't seem to address this but the TinyScheme implementation does seem to cripple the ability to read and write non-text files. I had added a 'read-byte' command to my personal GIMP-2-4 [1] (I never got around to implementing 'write-byte') and would be happy to contribute patches to add such capability, if deemed appropriate/useful.
