The behaviour described above is how emacs minibuffer history search works, and how the history search for comint modes work.
Slime's repl history search started off conforming to that behaviour but currently differs.
FWIW I'm attaching a file which has the definitions of Slime's original history functions from April 2006 which work when loaded on top of a current slime (Jul 2007) and revert the functionality to that era
