The source file contains many other forms that are compiled correctly. 
If after loading the system, I open the source file in Emacs and do 
slime-compile-defun on the one offending form, it miraculously starts 
working.

There is nothing funny with packages going on, redefinition of the form, 
or anything like that. I looked for all those kinds of things right off 
the bat. I actually commented out almost all of the entire system 
subsequent to the offending form. I'll see if I can create a more 
"minimal" version to replicate the problem, but it won't be the simplest 
case because that doesn't fail.

I was really hoping it was a known bug or that I was an idiot.
