Totally agree, that's my expected behaviour but it doesn't work. 

 ~ create a swank server with ACL on localhost
 ~ start Emacs with SLIME and do M-x slime-connect on localhost
 ~ got the repl, fine
 ~ quit slime, quits ACL which is bad

however when I use slime-disconnect, its better but it's seems that the
disconnection is not well handled in the swank server. As a result, I
can't reconnect to it.

/I guess it's a bug I already had and is about the way we close sockets,
it should be handled with care. I guess I have some code somewhere to
handle this./
