... What does LW and SBCL hate about wrapping toplevel forms in progn?

The LW debugger can't set breakpoints unless I remove the progn wrapper. A user of my code is complaining that "it doesn't work" in SBCL (:-) (I guess I'll get more detail later).

Asking the question got me to think of an experiment. I typed

(defstruct hello a b )

Into a file, then asked LW to macroexpand it. What is the result?

(in-package "COMMON-LISP-USER")

(dspec ...)

i.e. two forms without a wrapper!

And the answer in SBCL is a progn! With a an onerous-looking ...LOCK... as the first form.
