That is odd indeed. You seem to be using sbcl. What version?
You also seem to get a functioning *inferior-lisp* buffer. What do you get if you evaluate (swank-loader::binary-pathname #P"foo.lisp") in it? Or (user-homedir-pathname)?
As far as I can tell from the code, ~/.slime is not created as a separate step, but impicitly through a call to ensure-directories-exist when compiling source files.
Oh, and there should be a swank-loader.fasl in the slime directory. It should get recompiled automatically if swank-loader.lisp is changed, but you may wish to remove it just in case.
