However it fails when I use slime-compile-defun, slime-eval-defun or slime-eval-last-expression. Shouldn't slime bind *compile-file-pathname*, *load-pathname*, etc. when these functions are run?

Regarding slime-compile-defun, maybe. However, it's not straightforward because we call COMPILE-FILE and LOAD and it's those two functions take care of binding these special variables.

For the eval functions, maybe not. They're more akin to calling EVAL on the expression (or typing it out at the REPL). (Try for instance slime-eval-last-expression with this expression: (eval-when (:load-toplevel) (print 'hello)).)
