After observing that an explicit :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument works for me,
but indeed not setting the default, I found an error in the defaulting
of external formats in OPEN (and MAKE-FD-STREAM), which effectively
threw away the option.  I've just pushed a fix for that in
ea25eb2eabc9d11ed2bf924e34634c99b5f9ba02; the code change should apply
cleanly to earlier versions if you'd rather cherry-pick it.

Thanks again for the report.
