Technically the behaviour is correct. The vertical bar initiates a
symbol which is not terminated. If you add a | at the cursor position,
`slime-symbol-at-point' will correctly return the whole thing.

It's probably rather surprising, though. I committed to fallback to not
look at the surrounding context.

If you want to overwrite this, you can redefine
`slime-beginning-of-symbol' and `slime-end-of-symbol'.
