Using the latest version of slime (2004-04-02), and SBCL 0.8.9.6, I get problems with repl variables. To whit:

I don't get this problem with SBCL 0.8.5.50. I'll pull a new version and try it there.
Oh, I bet its a threads thing, with the REPL evaluating with a new thread each time and getting new values for the variables. (For some reason I don't have threads in my current SBCL build.)
I'm already planning to look at using a dedicated/persistent thread for the REPL, so if that's the problem it should be fixed that way.
Or maybe its something else. Plenty of time to speculate while SBCL compiles. :-)
