Looks like macroexpand and other uses of eval-string don't read in the right package.
eval-string and our macroexpand functions use from-string for reading. from-string reads in the *buffer-package*. Looks right to me.
Or are you suggesting that eval-string should bind *package* to *buffer-package* before evaluating ? That's probably a similar issue as with *load-pathname*. I think it is better not to mess around with user visible dynamic variables. But again, if you think otherwise, just change the code and let us see how that works.
