I wonder if this is our of emerge's fault.  It seems that emerge only
puts itself into minor-modes-list to get an entry in the modeline and
it doesn't use minor-mode-map-alist, but some custom local-map.  This
would explain why the SLIME bindings override the emerge keys, since
key lookup always looks at the minor-mode-map-alist before searching
in the local-map.  Do the problems persist if you turn SLIME off?
