This particular bit looks like a SBCL bug. interactive-stream-p doesn't work on Gray streams.
In CMUCL, the failure looks like this: (%i1) a; Maxima encountered a Lisp error: :INTERACTIVE-P fell through ECASE expression. Wanted one of (:CLOSE :ELEMENT-TYPE :GET-COMMAND :LINE-LENGTH :CHARPOS :LISTEN :CLEAR-INPUT :UNREAD :FILE-LENGTH :FILE-POSITION). Automatically continuing. To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
Hmm. So it might take coding up a special REPL?
Depends on what you want. Maxima's REPL should also work in SLIME. Of course this will (should) only be the same as in a terminal. If you need fancy stuff like Maxima specific completion or indentation you have to create your own REPL. (Probably quite a bit of work.)
That I don't think we have anyway (would be nice though.) Terminal would be fine, but it doesn't seem to like something somewhere here :-/.
Perhaps there's a cheaper solution, e.g. you could try to use the normal SLIME REPL and a reader macro that reads the rest of the line as Maxima syntax. Don't know how useful/feasible that is.
Before that point I'll probably stick with the multithread solution, which does seem to work OK :-). Won't help on anything but cmucl or (maybe) sbcl, but I'm content to work with those for a while.
