After a fair amount of source reading: Not a bug.

Paolo, thanks for adding it to http://mcclim.cliki.net/Bug. I removed it.

The follownig code is not a valid test case. See below.

>From the CLIM spec, 6th paragraph in the description of accepting-values
in Chapter 26:

"Inside of accepting-values, programmers should supply the
:query-identifier argument to each call to accept. If :query-identifier
is not explicitly supplied, the prompt for that call to accept is used
as the query identifier. Thus, if :query-identifier is not supplied,
programmers must ensure that all of the prompts are different. If there
is more than one call to accept with the same query identifier, the
behavior of accepting-values is unspecified."
