I asked about this issue in comp.lang.lisp and was told it might be a bug. See

My guess would be that this particular case is because of insufficienties of BEGINNING-OF-DEFUN, i.e. not really a problem of Slime. That's just what you get with a parsing engine based on regexps. A solution is simply not to start lines with opening parentheses, for instance by prepending a backslash ("\(" is equal to "(".) The Solution is to use Climacs. In your case, I'd suggest indenting the examples; it's good style anyway. -T.
