I've seen this, too. Has this been addressed since by Raymond?

Uhm, why does the warning seem to come from eldoc?

Yes, that's the same issue as Raymond's. For the time being, do not use
the slime-fontifying-fu contrib with XEmacs. Either do not load it, or
(if you use slime-fancy which automatically includes it) place

  (setq slime-highlight-suppressed-forms nil)

into your ~/.emacs.
