Yes. #2A is not read correctly. But then, do you really need to be evaluating constants in buffers?
It depends on the source of the error in the Slime code. If these array literals are not evaluated, could it be an indicator of a problem that would show up in other contexts? If so, then developers might spend time attempting to track down an error in their code that does not exist -- the error might be an evaluation problem in Slime. It is useful to have this problem identified because it localizes the problem to a small area (which could then be repaired), rather than having it as a symptom in a larger expression.
If this evaluation problem turns out NOT to be resolvable, then it could be added to a list of Known Problems section in the Slime info manual so that others can look it up and not report it again.
