Yeah, I could.  I have this all working on another machine, but it's
using a different version of sbcl 0.8.17, and it seems that these
problems crop up on 0.8.14 and later.  I just installed sbcl 0.8.17
from debian unstable, and now SLIME won't even compile --- I get a
type error when it tries to compile DEFMETHOD INSPECTED-PARTS.
