Hi,
it seem `common-lisp-indent-function' is set for lisp-mode, and
emacs-lisp-mode overhide this settings.
How did you set lisp-indent-function ? (with a hook may be?)
if you just set it with:
,----
| (setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
`----
you will have this setting both for emacs-lisp and cl.
The property lists will be indented correctly but you will lost
the if emacs-lisp indentation: 

,----
| (if A
|     t
|     nil)
`----

instead of

,----
| (if A
|     t
|   nil)
`----

is it a problem?
