i keep getting this:

if i've understood this message correctly; it means that i'm trying to
setf a slot with `:initform (c? ...)' ..

No, that should give you a different error saying you cannot SETF a /ruled/ slot, but I just checked to get the text of that error (and tested for it) and am rather astounded to see that that discipline is no longer enforced. I will have to investigate. :)

The error you are getting means the slot has been initialized to some plain Lisp value such as NIL or "Hello world", without any Cell wrapper as one would get with c-in or c-input or any of the macros to generate ruled Cells. Which means....

but the slot i'm having
trouble with resides in a superclass of `InputText' and is defined
like this:

..
(value :accessor value-of :initarg :value
:initform (c-in ""))

This initform (which is fine) has been overridden at make-instance time with something like:

:value "Test"
