This is indeed a bug and will be fixed in the next release.
Meanwhile, you can try adding the following to your .emacs:

   (setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/oz/share/elisp" load-path))
   (require 'mozart)

replacing the path name according to your installation
directory.

When you feed code in the OPI, the compiler expects statements,
whereas the command-line compiler expects expressions that (usually)
evaluate to functors.  This is where the error message comes from.

Personally, I start out by testing individual procedures in the OPI,
which I `declare'.  I then make them into functors (like you did)
and export the relevant portions, compiling them from the command
line using Makefiles.  If I need to use them from the OPI again,
I access them using `Module.link'.  Thus, most often the debugger
is actually started from the OPI.
