Yes, insofar as `load-library' and `load-file' trigger the
`eval-when-compile' form. If I run

  M-x load-library slime

or

  M-x load-file slime.el

the file fails to load. It looks like it's the `eval-when-compile' form
at line 67 that fails:

,----

Naturally, trying to byte-compile the file fails similarly. If I comment
out the `(require 'arc-mode)' form on line 68, I can compile and load
the file without error.
