Well, actually I prefer to wait until this bug is fixed (I'm writing on the premise that the bug belongs to SBCL not the Linux 2.4).
You may try to set locale environment variables to C before installation. It seems I had a problem very similar to yours. See bug#313230.
In the meantime, I installed SBCL 0.8.16 from the testing Debian repository which installed and worked fine.
I did not intend to upgrade to the latest SBCL had it not produce an error regarding with-output-to-string. The details are at:

I think I'll prefer waiting, since this is a major issue, hoping the fix is going to come very soon.
