This is a case of unexpected behavior. It could also be a nasty case of user error. It's also possible that this is an SBCL bug. If that is the case, I can report the issue on sbcl-devel. I don't want to cross post so I'm trying here first. What I expected was for the inferior lisp process to shut down.
I think it's an SBCL bug.
In the meantime the best thing to do is to kill the *inferior-lisp* buffer. Then you can do M-x slime again.
The REPL shortcut "sayoonara" (I'll add a "quit" alias) can also be used to kill all SLIME buffers and *inferior-lisp*.
