Hmm, fixing it is easy - just add the binding to the existing
slime-define-keys statement:
(slime-define-keys slime-scratch-mode-map
  ("\C-j" 'slime-eval-print-last-expression)
  ("\C-\M-q" 'indent-sexp))

However, I can't see why "C-M-q" isn't bound in the
slime-scratch-buffer. When I'm in the slime scratch buffer, I can do
"C-h b" and it shows that C-M-q is bound to indent-sexp. However, if I
do a "C-h k C-M-q" in the slime scratch buffer it says that it isn't
bound!!

weird.
