possible bug: compiled gensyms not preserved on load

If you save this into a file named "test-mac.lisp"

----
(defmacro test-mac ()
  (let ((s (gensym)))
    `(progn
       (defparameter *sym* ',s)
       (defun ,s () t))))
(test-mac)
----

and then do this at the Lisp REPL prompt:

(load (compile-file "test-mac.lisp"))
(funcall *sym*)

then you get an error:
  FUNCALL: undefined function #:G9606

However, this problem does not occur in SBCL, CMUCL, ABCL, ECL, CCL. They successfully answer T.

Either test-mac.lisp is non-conforming, or both behaviours are valid, or CLISP has a bug. I don't know which. I'm not a CL nor CLISP expert. I thought I'd report it, just in case it was a CLISP bug.
