Yes, in most cases. But not always. I can see no pattern here.

I tried to debug this but I'm stuck. From my playing around I gather
that when this happens slime-repl-mode-map isn't used at all[1] but I
have no idea why this should be the case.

Hmmm,
Edi.

[1] Try adding something like (message "FOOOO") to slime-space and
    press SPC instead of comma in the example above. No message. Press
    any other key and now you'll see "FOOOO" each time you press SPC.
