I sent a bug with a fix to the Emacs' maintainers:
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=5173
but I haven't yet received an answer.

In the meantime you can start Swank so that it accepts multiple
connections which is opens a small security hole but has no other
drawbacks.  You can achieve that if you put something like this in your
.emacs:

(defun load-swank-dont-close (port-filename encoding)
  (format "%S\n\n"
	  `(progn
	     (load ,(expand-file-name slime-backend slime-path) :verbose t)
	     (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init"))
	     (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server")
		      ,port-filename
		      :coding-system ,(slime-coding-system-cl-name encoding)
		      :dont-close t))))

(setq slime-lisp-implementations
      '((sbcl-noclose ("sbcl") :init load-swank-dont-close)))
