Yeah we all know how Emacs' primitive heuristic for beginning-of-defun
is annoying. However, notice that C-M-x is bound to slime-eval-defun,
so its failure on the above case is traditionally correct. :-)

You're probably looking for C-x C-e which is bound to
slime-eval-last-expression. (It however, doesn't do the DEFVAR
reevaluation magic.)
