I think this is a bug in CMUCL 18e. In 19a-pre3 the slime inspector
works on this example, and without SLIME I get better results too:

  $ cmucl -noinit

  * (defclass my-class () ((a) (b)))

  #<STANDARD-CLASS MY-CLASS {58020B65}>
  * (make-instance 'my-class)

  #<MY-CLASS {5802FA95}>
  * (inspect *)

  #<MY-CLASS {5802FA95}> is an instance of #<STANDARD-CLASS MY-CLASS {58020B65}>.
