Well, I just did a quick test and I don't see this problem, though
inevitably my setup does not mirror yours terribly well.

On the assumption that you have cl-ppcre relatively easily to hand, what
does
  (describe 'cl-ppcre:regex-apropos)
say after you have loaded cl-ppcre through quicklisp?  (If you don't
have cl-ppcre, substitute your favourite simple "utility")
