Since I am suspecting a "modern" Allegro package problem, could you please take a look at
  (defun define-clause (define-form clause-template body generator?)
in the source?

In my current source (since RCS 1.24, mid-April), it says therein:
	(if (and (symbolp last) (string= last '&sequence))

In iterate-1.0.9 and still in November 2004, it said:
	(if (and (symbolp last) (string= last "&SEQUENCE"))

a) what does yours say?
b) if "&SEQUENCE", does '&sequence help?

BTW, I'm about to send Marc, Marco and Peter a new version. It would be nice to hear if b) fixes your problem.
