eval-string and our macroexpand functions use from-string for reading.
from-string reads in the *buffer-package*.  Looks right to me.

Or are you suggesting that eval-string should bind *package* to
*buffer-package* before evaluating ?  That's probably a similar issue
as with *load-pathname*.  I think it is better not to mess around with
user visible dynamic variables.  But again, if you think otherwise,
just change the code and let us see how that works.
