I'm late to this discussion, but an :AROUND method is not a primary
method as defined by CLOS.  So
  (defmethod foo :around ((x integer)) x)
followed by
  (foo 1)
can't go through NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD, because there _is_ an
applicable method; there is no primary method, though, so there
should be an error of some kind.  Maybe this was the situation in
question?

Cheers,

Christophe
