There is a new documentation about Scheme and these
kinds of things, currently only on the CVS :
[[
 http://www.texmacs.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/doc/devel/scheme/
]]

The doc says that to solve the problem, you should use
the flag "prevail?", like this :
[[
(kbd-map
 (:mode prevail?)
 ("C-n" (new-buffer)))
]]

Could you let us know if it works (or if it doesn't) ?

Best, Henri
