One correction to my original post: the key sequence should be C-u C-space (not C-u M-space) to go back to where you were before doing C-M-a.

I created the following revised definition for slime-beginning-of-defun in slime/contrib/slime-editing-commands.el, adding (push-mark) before the basic body.
(defun slime-beginning-of-defun () (interactive) (push-mark) (if (and (boundp 'slime-repl-input-start-mark) slime-repl-input-start-mark) (slime-repl-beginning-of-defun) (beginning-of-defun)))
It works. Thanks!

it's supposed to take you back where you started. This doesn't seem to work now. I'm not sure when this got broken, or why, or if it's an intentional "improvement", and I don't have time to track it down. If anyone knows what's going on with that, I'd appreciate knowing. I think it should be fixed for everyone, but I'd settle for a private patch. Thanks!
I wasn't even aware that C-M-a pushes the mark. C-M-a is bound to slime-beginning-of-defun in contrib/slime-editing-commands.el. If you don't load that contrib you get the plain beginning-of-defun that pushes the mark.
The problem seems to be that slime-beginning-of-defun calls beginning-of-defun as subroutine but beginning-of-defun only pushes the mark after inspecting the this-command variable to see if the command is called beginning-of-defun. Maybe using call-interactively would help.
