I don't understand, Debian is always well behind but not *that* much
behind. I searched for denemo on the Debian website and it said this:

https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/denemo

Package: denemo (2.2.0-1~bpo9+1)

that's version 2.2 not 1.1.8

it will be because it is not executing the Scheme correctly - if you
run the program in the terminal I expect there will be lots of
complaints from guile about stuff not found. Denemo is poor at telling
the user when something catastrophic like that is going on.
