Perhaps the following change would work.  It makes the old behavior work
again, and still fixes the compile form issue:

	     (form (etypecase definition
		     ((or cons eval:interpreted-function)
		      `#',(get-lambda-to-compile definition))
		     (function
		      (multiple-value-bind (exp lexenv)
			  (function-lambda-expression definition)
			(if (and exp (not lexenv))
			    `#',exp
			    `',definition)))))

(Perhaps this can be written in a better way.  The second etypecase
clause is like get-lambda-to-compile, except we don't signal an error.)

I think we still need the additional fix in function-lambda-expression
in case the compiled-debug-info-source is NIL.
