Hi

This entry from the SBCL 0.9.15 news explains why it fails:

o minor incompatible change: SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE is now called
  later in a class's lifetime, possibly as late as when the first instance
  of the class is created. Previously, SB-MOP:FINALIZE-INHERITANCE was
  called by the system as soon as a class became finalizeable.

As this is the same behavior as CLisp has, I believe the following patch
should fix the problem (but I haven't had time to test it):
