Turns out this only happens when your code is evaluated via the -ee parameter with -batch parameter preset:

     ~/lisps/acl100/alisp -batch -ee "(set-dispatch-macro-character #\# #\u #'(lambda (&rest ignored)))"


    An unhandled error occurred during initialization:
    An error occurred
    (Attempt to set dispatch macro in system readtable #<readtable @ #x2012072a>; copy readtable first.)
    during
    the reading or evaluation of -e "(set-dispatch-macro-character #\\# #\\u #'(lambda (&rest ignored)))"
