Hello, again,

This problem is still occurring. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. Killing the underlying Lisp process (sbcl) unfreezes Emacs. Here is the error message that appears in Emacs after killing SBCL in the buffer *slime-error*:

Invalid protocol message:
sb-int:simple-reader-package-error at 42 (line 1, column 42) on #<sb-impl::string-input-stream

I just checked out latest repo, seems to be fixed now, somehow.

Sorry for the noise.

What completion are you using? (C-h v slime-complete-symbol-function)
