I was having some problems getting objects to properly serialize when using cl-prevalence, until I found that there was no implementation of serializable-slots for sbcl. This patch contains such an implementation. Also, I've modified it somewhat from the formula followed by the other lisps. Rather than simply returning all slots for the object, I only return those slots which are currently bound for the object. I leave it up to you to decide whether this is a useful addition or not.

I was planning to add (if Sven doesn't object) some sort of unbound slot handling (since I would expect unbound slots to remain unbound after unserialization, and currently the serialization code just dies if a slot is unbound.
So I agree that something needs to be done about unbound slots, but I don't agree that ignoring them is the best solution.
