did it complete without errors? maybe you've already done this, but:
using slime's slime-repl-load-system (,l shortcut) you get a buffer
with all the compilation notes/wornings and errors.

that's on excellent question.

the only place "ucw/examples/counter.tal" appears is as a default init
arg to template name in counter.lisp.  the question is: why in God's
name is someone trying to funcall or apply "ucw/examples/counter.tal"?
(i'm assuming this is the error due to the expected type in the
backtrace). The first thing that comes to mind is that, somehow, the
expansion of defcomponent went horribly. so, wolud you mind deleting
all the fasls and recompiling? if the issue persists could i get a
complete backtrace?

p.s. - i'm often on #ucw at freenode.net if you want to do some remote debugging
