In R5RS or draft R6RS the result of set-vector! is unspecified
anyway, so the above display is undefined.  So I don't think
I understand your concern.

If we had set-vector! return no value I think it would be
consistent to change or-each to also (always) return no value.
(I just submitted a formal request to do this.)
