Ah, sorry, that was in (setf md-slot-value), not md-slot-value-assume.

I made this change:

(defmodel label ()
  ((name
    :initarg :name
    :reader name
    :documentation "Name of this label, a symbol.")
   (location
    :initform (c-input (:cyclicp :run-on) 0)
   ...etc...

And modified md-slot-value-assume to know about :run-on, and the 
assembly ran to completion (correctly, I am assuming). I am assuming 
because I am not so interested in this fix so much as in the grander fix 
of simply not checking for cycles and letting programmers fend for 
themselves.

btw. note that there would still be a different kind of cycle which 
would still be an error, one on the read side: if the rule for A 
eventually leads back to a read of A, that is a fatal error.
