The scheme 311 compiler had a proof of correctness. It is published
as "The Scheme 311 Compiler, An Exercise in Denotational Semantics" in
a conference proceedings (my copy doesn't have the name). The stuff
at the bottom is: (c) 1984 ACM 0-89791-142-3/84/008/0356 $00.75
and it is probably one of: the lisp and functional programing conference,
POPL, or the compiler conference.
