The problem with SERIES is that the compiler condition actually contains a message, but has length zero. The SERIES package prints the warning itself to *standard-output* and uses (warn "") to inform the compiler. I changed the slime code a bit, so you see at least 2 double quotes ("") in the echo area if the message is empty.
Would it be better if the message wasn't zero-length? I can look into changing that if it makes slime work better, and if the messages still make sense.
Is there a reason why series is emitting /warnings/ by emitting text to *standard-output* (why not *error-output*?) and then calling WARN with an empty string? It feels like a workaround for a long-dead bug somewhere.
