(coerce 0 '(double-float * *)) did not work in the older version.

You are looking at too older versions. The CVS for users is updated 15
minutes later than that of developers. That might explain your
problems. If you look at 1.64 (Fri May 16 20:30:05 2008 UTC)
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ecl/src/lsp/predlib.lsp?rev=1.64&root=ecl&view=auto
you will find the change I mentioned
