i don't know if this is related, but what you reported may be a
symptom of a problem i've experienced, namely, that the elc files are
compiled with different versions of 23.x. So, if this is indeed the
problem, then re-compile your slime elisp files will fix it. (haven't
used slime so perhaps my guess is totally off)

here's a account of the first time i experienced this problem
