As a workaround you could customize the slime-highlight-face and set
its font to the default size.  By default slime-highlight-face should
look almost like your normal highlight face.  Is the font of your
normal highlight face also smaller? (Use list-faces-display to see all
faces.)

Hmm... it seems that these warnings are generated by the SERIES
package and not by the compiler.  I guess we should bind a handler for
such warnings too.  I'll look at that.
